My Students

Hello everyone, my class needs your help and they deserve every ounce of the help and love!

I am a special education teacher in a very, very low income area.

It is a Title I and a Title 3 school in the New York City Department of Education. My students, like many others, are trying to navigate through learning to the best of their ability during the pandemic.

My Project

My amazing class needs your help and they deserve every ounce of the help and love!

I am hoping to receive funding for a color printer so that my students with disabilities could stay engaged and excited about their work this school year!

Keeping an organized school to home approach will absolutely allow for a more cohesive learning environment both in school and at home. Our children live in the epicenter of where Covid-19 hit the hardest in Corona, Queens. The last thing I will ever ask of my families is for supplies. Every year I make sure to go out and buy my student's what they need to allow my special education students, most of which are on the Autism Spectrum, to success with organization and practicality. Our kids deserve colorful work in which we can really use a color printer in the classroom! Let's give them what they need to succeed through the hardest learning time yet!
