Abstract/Notes: While I was accustomed to seeing students take on projects to collect funds (or canned food, shoes, blankets, etc.) for people in need, Middle School students at Valley Montessori School (Livermore, CA) took things further a few years ago.(Both purchases helped to protect and preserve threatened and endangered habitats.) Classes have also raised funds for the grassroots campaign Nothing but Nets, which provides much-needed bed nets to keep out mosquitoes and help prevent malaria in Africa.After learning that AMS 2016 Living Legacy Carolyn Kambich spoke about building Montessori schools and teacher training centers in Uganda at the AMS 2016 Annual Conference, Valley Middle School students determined that they should host a breakfast and boutique event, in which they would make and sell breakfast foods and craft items, to educate others about and raise money for this endeavor.

Abstract/Notes: Hayward Twin Oaks Montessori School (HTOMS), in Castro Valley, CA, is located 6,119 miles from Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine-a geographic distance that at one point in history may have seemed endlessly long but that is now, thanks to technology and our interconnectedness, very immediately near. For more information on how you and your school community can support Ukraine, please visit: amshq. org/Educators/Community/Peace. - At Ross, our teaching staff's social atmosphere has been impacted by the implementation of lesson study, which I learned about via coaches' training with NCMPS (the National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector). [...]teacher education programs and schools will only evolve when they actively recruit teachers of color.

Abstract/Notes: This qualitative study used a narrative research design to collect field texts from 40 students in first grade through college to record participants’ memories of learning in Kindergarten. The research addressed the question, “Will study participants recall more memories of self-initiated lessons and activities than other lesson types?” and explored a phenomenon experienced by the researcher during her 15 years of teaching Kindergarten that students consistently request the choice-based work time above all other activities, including recess. Data were collected from interview transcripts and analyzed in three formats: Coded Data, a Focus Word study, and an Initial Memories collection. Findings were based on the assumption that participants relayed memories that were important to them, reflecting areas of instructional importance to early childhood learning. Results in all three data formats emphatically indicated that choice, play, creativity, friends, and fun are the keys to successful, joyful early childhood learning and school experiences.
