My Students

My classroom this year will consist of students who have disabilities. Throughout the school year, my students will need different materials to make their learning fun especially through technology. My students are visual and hands on learners.

My students love to learn, and to try hard everyday to be the best they can be.

They are ready to be second and third graders. I cannot wait to see how much progress they will make this school year all thanks to you!

My Project

These books will allow my students to read independently based on their reading level. This will allow them to reinforce different reading behaviors and phonics skills they are learning in the classroom. This will allow me to set them up for success and also support them in their reading. These books will be such a great resource to have not just for this class but future classes to come. Ordering different genres of books will allow my students to understand the difference between fiction and nonfiction because they will have the books right in front of them.
