My Students

I teach a fantastic special education class. We are a small group but mighty in the will to read, learn math, science and social emotional learning. We are using social emotional techniques to support our students in accessing the curriculum and bringing STEAM into the classroom every day. We believe the world is just a click away! So we make things, watch things grow, go see new places, and do research. Oh, and art. We love all types of art and self awareness. We love ourselves!

My Project

Students are learning to conquer the academics and the social emotional challenges of school. These Yoga Mats will give my students safe spaces to meet on the mat for Brain Breaks and Body Breaks. As an Autism and Core Curriculum teacher teaching in creative spaces is important to my students.

A Desk is not always the best place for the best learning.

These yoga mats will go a long way in my class room. Students will have the flexibility of collaborating, grounding, and of course doing a few yoga moves!
