My Students

I am a Special Education English Language Teacher. My students are generous, inquisitive, and creative. We are school not too far from Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York. My students demonstrates a desire to reach their full potential in every possibly way.

My Project

These supplies will help foster a sense of creativity and engagement that was once in a traditional classroom into remote learning. The supplies will help facilitate different discussions, participation, and projects.

For English Language Arts classes, we complete different projects that can be interdisciplinary.

We tackle and analyze current events, discuss time lines, we connect different era/generation to writing periods. The educational resources and supplies will help students gain the hands-on and visual input to provide extra assistance. The use of the magnetic board and timer will provide a visual tool to help keep students engaged and on tasks. In addition, the books will provide a growth in our classroom library. Gratefully, these supplies will help students gain the tools necessary to be stronger readers and writers.
