My class is made up of 12 special needs learners. They are in the 2nd & 3rd grade and their ages range from 7-10 years old. The disabilities that they cope with include learning disabilities, speech & language impairments, autism, and emotional disturbances. Our school is a public elementary school in New York City. The neighborhood is rich in culture and diversity, but poor in crime and violence. It is important that when they come to school they feel safe and secure. My students deserve a classroom that feels like they don't have a care in the world. Their only tasks - right then & right there - is to enjoy the book that they have open in front of them.
