My Students

My students are amazing kids who face many challenges both at home and at school. My students all have various disabilities, but they don't let their disabilities hold them back.

All of my students are unique, but one thing is the same in each of them: they love to learn!

My students come from a variety of backgrounds and face many challenges before even entering our school. We work together every day to overcome those challenges and reach new heights. I work with about 75 special education students every week, reaching kids with various disabilities. My students love to move, explore, and play.

My Project

Right now, we are learning from home. Amazing learning is happening and I couldn't be prouder of my students! Learning at home though- means that my kids don't have access to all of the learning tools that we have while at school.

Computers and technology allow us to learn from home- but nothing beats a real life, actual book!

I would like to be able to give my students books on topics that they love, to encourage their love for reading- even when we aren't at school. Right now, my students can't pick out books from our school library, so I would like to deliver books to them to read at home!
