My Project

I teach students who have a mild intellectual disability at a high school in Newport News, Virginia. Some of my students have sensory issues and require that we meet them where they are in terms of up-to-date materials. They love hands-on, active, engaging projects, and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances to grow both socially, emotionally, personally, and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration! They also enjoy using games and materials that engage and interest them in learning different social/emotional skills. Unfortunately, our school does not have a budget for my student needs. As a result, I turn to grants to keep our collection up-to-date to meet my students' needs and interests.
