My Students

My students are amazing kids who face many challenges both at home and at school. My students all have various disabilities, but they don't let their disabilities hold them back.

All of my students are unique, but one thing is the same in each of them: they love to learn!

My students come from a variety of backgrounds and face many challenges before even entering our school. We work together everyday to overcome those challenges and reach new heights. I work with about seventy-five, special education students every week, reaching kids with various disabilities. My students love to move, explore, and play.

My Project

This has been a year for the record books. We have learned in new ways and I couldn't be prouder of my kids. They have mastered technology as we have learned mostly from home, on top of gaining new math, reading, writing and friendship skills! During this challenging year, we have worked particularly hard on increasing our social and emotional skills. We practice mindfulness and gratitude daily, we have learned all about our emotions, and how to lean on our friends and families when times get tough. We also have practiced lots of different self-regulation tools, so that we have lots to choose from when we most need these tools.

Just because we are learning from home, I don't want my students to miss out on creating some of their own tools to have at home to help them self-regulate.

With your help, I would love to provide my students with the materials to make calm-down jars full of glitter to watch while we self-regulate, materials to make stress reducing playdough (that smells great thanks to Kool-Aid) and markers to make breathing butterfly tools! These materials will be packed up in draw-string backpacks and delivered to each of my students' homes!
