My Students

Students in this class are a part of the DOE's District 75, which is our special education district. Students in this district are overcoming odds, many of which are coming from low socioeconomic areas and attend a Title I school.

Students in my class have been working very hard to work on their social skills, interact with their classmates, and make friends!

They have taken the challenges this year has presented them in stride and overcome so many obstacles. Including, adjusting back to in-person learning after being remote for so long. Throughout the year, they've shown tremendous growth academically, socially, and emotionally.

My Project

My students this year have worked so hard to overcome the challenges that returning to in-person learning presented them. They have increased their social skills, practiced interacting with others, and created great friendships with one another.

I want to help my students remember this monumental year with a class yearbook.

In our school, we do not currently have a school yearbook or picture day. These materials will help me take the perfect photos and create a class yearbook so students can always remember the special memories created throughout the year.
