My name is Danielle Blehm and I am an E1 Teacher at Nokomis Montessori North. E1 is a multigrade classroom with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students. Students will be in my classroom for 3 years. The Montessori learning environment encourages responsibility, cooperation, respect, and independence.  Students will be grouped into small groups for their lessons on math, reading, and culture.
