My Project

Each child is unique and deserves quality resources and experiences that will shape their future.We are a Title I school however, it’s often a challenge to find funding to purchase materials and resources. Basic classroom supplies are in high demand in our school, and our scholars deserve to experience high-quality education and resources.

My fifth grade integrated co-teaching classroom is comprised of both general education students and students with an array of disabilities including learning disabilities and speech and language impairments.

My students learn at different paces and have a variety of learning styles. Each student having their own pair of headphones will help them improve focusing when engaged in computer based learning using educational platforms.
