My Students

Our classroom is an inclusive one, which means some of the students are high-performing general education students while others are overcoming various challenges as special education students. Some of these challenges include autism, speech and language impairments, and visual impairments.

It's wonderful to see the students in our class all accept each other and learn from one another despite their differences.

Besides their learning differences, our school's population is also very diverse. Located in the heart of Queens, NY we have many immigrant students who have recently moved to America. On the other hand, we also have many students whose parents and grandparents were raised right in Queens and even attended our school!

My Project

We are in need of an Apple iPad for our classroom. Although we have two that we use in our classroom, it would be beneficially to have more iPads to complete work on with our Science and Math partners.

Our new Science curriculum comes with a great app that students can learn a lot from, but unfortunately only about four students (2 per iPad) can use it at time.

The addition of another iPad would help us work towards our goal of having each partnership having one to work on!

In addition, our students love to learn their math addition and subtraction facts digitally on an app we have downloaded. Once again only very few students can be given a chance to use this app due to our lack of technology in the classroom.
