My Project

As a first year teacher and special educator in an ICT- kindergarten classroom with special education students, my focus is to provide my students the opportunity to learn in a way that meets their social-emotional and educational learning needs.

Students will grow educationally and socially while provided the opportunity to collaborate with their peers while learning.

Providing opportunities for working in small group collaborative settings helps promote understanding of various learning subjects. Writing and reading workshops and mathematical exploration will be conducted using our small group table.

Please help to make this dream possible, thank you!

Ms. De Simone PS 6 Cpl Allan F Kivlehan School Grades PreK-2
