The Cambridgeport approach means students do projects throughout the year based on a curricular theme that teachers design.
This fall, for example, the theme is community. Students will interview members of the community and make quilt squares about them.
But overcrowding means there's no space to make and store the projects.
Pearlmutter says she does not know where she will have her class work on its next project, which is to build a large model of Cambridge.
Berg says these constraints have forced changes in the curriculum.
"The kids aren't getting the kind of hands-on education I'd like to teach them," Berg says.
