My Students

I teach in a community school located in a high needs area. My students receive special education services. Each school year, I find that my kids have a tremendous amount of energy. They enjoy learning but need constant hands-on engagement throughout any lesson. This year, we face new challenges in our classrooms and I want to be sure that my students have what they need to succeed.

My kids are so special to me.

They need access to resources that will allow them to learn in all modalities whether they are in or out of the classroom. Every day I go to work, I want to make it a positive experience for them because that is what each one of them deserves.

New materials will increase the learning in my class and will allow my students to become excited and interested in learning in a way that allows them to discover and appreciate all that education has to offer. Having their own materials will enable them to work in safe way that is personalized just for them!

My Project

Now more than ever, it's important that children are given opportunities to practice what they learn in fun and rewarding ways. My students need an increased amount of repetition and review long after skills and concepts are learned. If they practice with the same materials for too long, they become bored. I like to have a variety of centers that review the same skills so that the kids are engaged and excited about learning. Additionally, I like to make my own materials which often require a lot of laminating and page protecting!

This project will increase the level of engagement in my classroom and will make our reading and math rotation time so much more exciting.

My kids love trying new things and are highly motivated when they have access to fun learning materials.
