My Students

Providing for the needs of special education students will certainly be one of my greatest challenges as a professional educator. Not only will these students demand more of my time and patience; so, too, will they require specialized instructional strategies in a structured environment that supports and enhances their learning potential.

The students in my class are very diverse in ethnicity, race, social class, and needs.

Curious, enthusiastic, and creative, my students are eager to immerse themselves in any kind of challenge. I want to give them the best education I can give and help them to be successful in their lives and in their future.

Our motto is if you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn no one can stop you!

My Project

Transitioning back to school full-time has been tricky for my students. They need rewards to help keep them motivated. I would like to help reward my students for their hard work and good behavior with some special treats and gift cards. My students continue to work hard to earn these special rewards.

I want to give my students extra special rewards to celebrate all the work they are doing.

In order to keep my students' stamina going, I want to put some extra special treats in their reward bin. I need your help! My students will receive these goodies by earning a bucket filler tickets. I plan on using these rewards to help motivate my students to keep on learning. I need your help to make these rewards amazing!
