My Students

Welcome to “The World of Extraordinary Learners!” As a Title I first/second-grade self-contained classroom of 12, we may be small in number, but MIGHTY in learning, personality, and presence! My students are readers, writers, explorers, inquirers, and creative individuals with unique needs. In my classroom, the dis/abilities present include speech and language, ADHD, and learning disabilities. All of my students are from Hispanic and/or Black/brown backgrounds and many of my students come from single-family homes, non-English speaking parents, and low socioeconomic status (all contributing factors that cause disparities within the education system).

Despite the hardships my students face outside of the classroom, they remain positive and enthusiastic learners who are excited to come into school and learn each and every day.

The work we do in this classroom includes building relationships, creating a welcoming environment, and accessing the general education curriculum through differentiation and developmentally appropriate practice. This is not only our classroom, but our second home, our safe place, and refuge. We celebrate our tribulations. We celebrate our successes. And most importantly, we celebrate each other.

My Project

These art supplies will allow students to express themselves in unique ways. In early childhood, art is essential and without these supplies our projects are limited.

Art is one of the subject areas that all of my students enjoy; it is where I see them shine - where I see they are happiest.

My class loves creating unique art projects. Their creations are exhibited in our classroom. This helps with self-esteem and building their confidence.

We need materials such as finger paint, finger paint paper, construction paper, paintbrushes and watercolor paper so that students can continue to express themselves. The Mod Podge will protect students artwork for years to come. The classroom is often times the only place students are able to use these materials, as it is usually not present in their home. They would be so excited to have them readily available in our classroom!
