My Students

I am a Special Education teacher in a third grade ICT Class.

In an Integrated Co-teaching class (ICT), students with disabilities learn alongside general ed students.

The idea is to educate all children together with two teachers, one of whom is a special education teacher. All students get the attention of both teachers, so ideally it is a win-win situation for all students. Special education kids are not isolated and both groups learn from one other.

Our goal is for all students to gain the skills they will need to be successful in the future. Modern learning is about collaborating with others, solving complex problems, critical thinking, developing different forms of communication and leadership skills, and improving motivation and productivity.

My Project

If you think of a classroom library as a cozy, welcoming space where students can read quietly or browse through a rich collection of texts, you are correct. With your help we can create just that...with bookshelves and a cozy welcoming classroom rug, our classroom library can function

as a gathering spot where our students can express their lives as readers.

We want our students to think of it as a place that makes books exciting, that sells reading. It should be a place students can't wait to get to. Here they can talk about their reactions to books, write a critical review and share it with peers.
