My Students

I teach third, fourth and fifth grade in a self-contained Special Education Classroom. My students work remotely and all have different learning needs. They are eager to learn and love to move. My students are all diverse and come from diverse backgrounds.

My students all have different needs and learn in different ways.

Right now my students are experiencing school like they never have before. They learn remotely and rely on technology to help them learn.

Even though they are remote they still love school and come to every meeting with smile.

My Project

Teaching during this time comes with many challenges. One challenge being home is not always having the necessary supplies at hand. Through this project I will be able to have enough notebooks, pens and a paper shredder. I often write my lesson plans in a notebook. By having enough notebooks I will be successful in planning for my students.

Having the necessary supplies is the key to success.

By having a paper shredder I can shred documents that are not necessary. I also am requesting pens to ensure I will have all the necessary supplies at home.
