My Students

I am a Special Education teacher in a third grade ICT Class.

In an Integrated Co-teaching class (ICT), students with disabilities learn alongside general ed students.

The idea is to educate all children together with two teachers, one of whom is a special education teacher. All students get the attention of both teachers, so ideally it is a win-win situation for all students. Special education kids are not isolated and both groups learn from one other.

Our goal is for all students to gain the skills they will need to be successful in the future. Modern learning is about collaborating with others, solving complex problems, critical thinking, developing different forms of communication and leadership skills, and improving motivation and productivity.

My Project

To foster and encourage a love of reading, a variety of texts need to be readily accessible to students. Classroom libraries should provide students with immediate access to books and keep reading as a class priority. Help give our classroom library a much needed boost!

Experts claim a classroom library should have at least 20 books per student, so a typical class of 28 students would have a classroom library of close to 600 books.

In fact, we really need more than 20 books per students to match books to the many different readers in our classroom.

According to experts, even very young students can read for extended periods of time when they are matched with books that they can read with 95% or higher word accuracy rate, and they are more successful when reading books that interest them. This means our classroom library should have books at many different levels, and the books should represent many different genres, topics, and series. Unfortunately, this is not the case. We need your help!
