My Students

My students are a great group of kids. They are 9th graders and many have autism and other developmental disabilities or special learning needs. They need more than a teacher who tells them what to do; they need an adult who will listen to them and work with them on their individual needs.

In the words of Temple Grandin, "Kids have to be exposed to different things to develop.

A child’s not going to find out he likes to play a musical instrument if you never exposed him to it."

My classroom assistant and I create a positive and interactive learning environment where our kids know that they are welcome, loved, appreciated, are safe, and can succeed.

My Project

This project will enable my students to build a love for science and understand the transformation of insects and nature. We will use these butterfly kits for the students to observe the insects daily and watch the interaction in the habitat. The student will be able to learn that many animals have a life cycle and can change over a period of time.

I want to expand the science content in my classroom and have an array of opportunities for my students to engage with living things.

The students are excited to see new things in the classroom and to also develop ownership in helping taking care of living things. I'm ecstatic for my students to learn and gain a love for science through this project. Thank you.
