      <image:caption>Math – Montessori materials illustrate math concepts brilliantly. Each function is expressed with hands-on manipulatives so that children can approach mathematics in a physical sense. As children become more advanced, the materials aide the progression from concrete to abstract.  Here, a student uses numbered wooden strips to perform addition.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"I went all the way through Montessori, from pre-k through 6th grade, and I count my experience there as some of the happiest and wholesome times of my life. MCH was dedicated to learning, but more importantly, to fostering imagination and creativity. Montessori was not only a fun place to learn and explore, but also a safe place. The teachers cared for each and every student--they knew that what mattered was who you are, not what you know. They honored each student's individuality, allowing for differences in interests, learning styles, and learning paces." Lucy graduated from the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre, and Dance and the Bard College Conservatory Graduate Vocal Arts Program. She is now in New York City where she is continuing to perform.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>From Darris: “I think the sense of independence and responsibility that I developed at Montessori is integral to my job now. I work at a start-up where people's roles are constantly changing as the site grows and its requirements develop. The ability to think independently, come up with ideas on my own and see them through to completion without a great deal of direction or oversight has been a great asset at my job.” From Cedric: “My Montessori education has allowed me the ability to approach challenges from multiple angles. It's been great knowing that the roots of my education were so well nourished and that I can always rely on myself to get things done.” Darris is currently living in NYC and working as a Social Advertising Analyst for BuzzFeed. Cedric is attending U of M full time and working at the university’s Center for Educational Outreach and with a military child assimilation program.</image:caption>

As a kid I didn't know how to appreciate that, but now I realize what an incredible gift it was to have that sense of freedom and confidence in my learning style from the beginning." From Elayna: “There are many times in my creative work when I wonder how everything will come together. Montessori taught me to not only trust, but surrender to the process." Elayna and Alyse traveled to Japan and bicycled the 1000-mile 88 Temple Pilgrimage route together. Now Alyse works as a copy editor in Minneapolis and Elayna continues to do creative work after finishing an illustrated book about their journey.</image:caption>
