My Students

I teach an 8:1:1 4th grade Horizon classroom in Brooklyn, New York. Our students are from all walks of life. We are a Title I school and many of our students come from low-income families.

All of the students in my classroom are diagnosed with Autism.

They are one of the kindest groups I have ever taught. Despite the many challenges that my students face socially, emotionally, and academically, I always try my best to fuel their passion for learning!

My Project

Neil Gaiman once said, "The simplest way to make sure that we raise literate children is to show them that reading is a pleasurable activity. And that means finding books that they enjoy, giving them access to those books, and letting them read them."

My students absolutely love reading!

They are from low-income neighborhoods and don’t always have access to books at home. My classroom is sometimes the only place they get to read and book shop. Unfortunately, many of the books in our library are outdated. For children with Autism, it is crucial to have material that engages them. This year, I found the best way to keep my students captivated was through book series. Each time they finished a book, they asked me for more! I was constantly running to the public library to replenish their thirst for reading. An updated and engaging library with various book series is just what my kids need to stay hooked on books!
