My Students

I teach K-8 Special Education students that have a variety of intellectual, physical and sensory impairments. Our school is part of an all Special Education District. I modify each lesson according to their personal goals and together with great paraprofessionals, work very hard for them to achieve those personal goals.

My students love participating in all reading and hands on activities.

We are limited in space and supplies so we do our best with what we have. Having more choices as far as supplies and activities will motivate my students even more.

My Project

These books and puzzles will give my students the opportunity to have the tools to work, create and learn while working independently. They will be able to call these supplies their own when sharing is not safe to do so during the current Covid pandemic.

With these new books, my students will be able to read independently at their own grade level.

The new puzzle and sticker books will allow them to use their imagination and bring out their creativity. They will be able to continue to enjoy reading and learning safely in school.
