My Students

Intertwined in my classroom are students who come with various learning and developmental disabilities. I am a fifth-grade self-contained educator in Brooklyn, NY. Throughout our academic day, my students are continuously on a journey building their knowledge and comprehension skills in all academic areas. In using hands-on STEM activities and constructing engaging academic tasks, my students come in every day motivated to learn new things.

All of the students in my classroom come from diverse socioeconomic environments, but despite this minor setback all of my students show in their own unique way a passion for learning.

As they grow as a community of learners, it is essential for them to be provided with engaging content and educational tools that will help them grow academically.

As a teacher, they have taught me how to be diverse in my instruction, as it is required of me to help them with their individual needs. It is my goal to give them everything they need to continue on their path towards academic success.

My Project

Providing my students with the opportunity to come to school without having to worry about having the basic tools to be successful is the goal of this project.

In having these school supplies all ready to go will allow my students the ability to dive into learning without skipping a beat.

To have books, pencils, crayons, and the like available will support my students in relieving the stress of them thinking they aren't prepared to be successful moving forward. As this is a new school year, I wish to make this journey engaging and fun without the hassle of missing resources in creating new learning experiences.
