My Students

My classroom is a wonderful place filled with hardworking students and staff. Every day, I fall just a little bit more in love with their amazing hearts and smiles. Each child has an individual education plan to help them make progress on goals in functional academics, behavior, life skills, communication, and functional life skills.

My students are full of curiosity, energy, and incredible potential.

We focus on the positive and celebrate every success that they achieve. Each day I do my best to make sure that they have the necessary tools to succeed, but it takes a lot of equipment and materials to help meet their unique needs.

With the help of DonorsChoose.org, I am able to provide unique and engaging materials to help my students, who experience a variety of disabilities, overcome their challenges and let their abilities shine through.

My Project

This summer we are moving our classroom next door to the old home economics classroom. I'm so excited for the possibilities this brings to the children I teach.

Although schools in our district haven't taught "home ec" in many years I feel that this space is perfect to each my special education students the life skills they need to take care of themselves and others in the future.

Thanks to a DonorsChoose.org grant last year, we'll have a washer and dryer which we will use to wash towels for the science teachers, clean costumes for the drama department and provide laundry service to anyone who needs it within the school.

Additionally we will "clean up our act" by using the water filter system and reusable water bottles to provide clean, cold drinking water to our students. The students can also use the dishwasher to clean and sanitizer our bottles, dishes and other equipment that we'll use to learn skills such as cooking and baking.
