My Students

My lovely group of students is a very diverse bunch.

That is just the beginning of their differences.

Some may be wondering why my class size is so small. To answer that question, my students are in district 75, which is a specialized school district that tailors especially to special needs students. One key attribute is small class sizes. The maximum number of students in any district 75 class is twelve. This ensures that all of these kiddies get the individualized attention and instruction that they need to succeed.

Eventually, these little learners may move from a class of six to a class of eight or a class of twelve! The best way for this to happen is for them to be able to take advantage of all that I, and their support team, have to offer.

My Project

The items we most need are laminating sheets, velcro and glue!

I use these supplies to create fun and informative, visual and hands on lessons that help my students with making the subject matter more concrete for students to understand.

The paper trimmer is used to cut out many sheets of paper through out the day that need to be attached to projects or laminated and attach Velcro in order to create fun and engaging activities for these diverse learners. These items will help us kick off our new year with ease!
