I teach 5th, 4th, and 1st grade students in inclusion classrooms and in small group settings in a separate location. Our public school is located in a high-need community and like most schools, is facing severe budget cuts. This is my eighth year teaching, and my first year without my own classroom. I love helping my students, and their enthusiasm inspires me to continue to develop new projects to excite them and motivate them to learn.
