Support Mrs. Kruja's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
The students that I work with attend a high poverty school that serves children with disabilities in Brooklyn. I teach a self-contained 6:1+1 (6 students: 1 teacher: 1 paraprofessional) first/second grade class. All my students have Autism Spectrum Disorder. I work in one of the highest need areas in NYC and almost all my students rely on our free breakfast and lunch program. My students vary in academic levels, interests, behaviors, and learning styles. All of my students have very unique needs and learn very differently. I am constantly searching for ways to engage them in learning and help each and every child achieve his/her best potential.
