My Students

I teach students in a 12:1:1 setting who are bright and love to learn! The use of songs and multi-sensory activities are motivating for them and it is rewarding as a teacher to see the smile on their faces when they are having fun!

My Project

I teach students who benefit from the use of tactile and sensory activities. Instead of learning from worksheets, we make learning fun! Every day, during reading, we put pictures in a jar and they get to choose a picture and figure out the beginning sound! This is a fun and engaging activity that is routine and helps meet their learning style and needs. The children will love using actual toys instead of pictures to figure out the beginning sounds of words. I appreciate any money contributed to this cause! Thank you!
