Hello! I am a Resource Specialist Teacher at Los Arboles and Shirakawa Elementary. These schools are located in the Franklin-McKinley School District. My classroom is great because it allows students with and without disabilities to learn alongside one another. The classroom environment is very welcoming, enjoyable, and safe for all students. I strive to provide a positive learning environment for all. However, it is a challenge to provide my students with the necessary resources to support their growth. This is because we are located in a low-income community and are categorized as a Title I school. Please help support me to provide my students with these necessary resources. My students are very energetic and always ready to learn!
