My Students

My students are a great group of kids. They are 9th graders with Autism and other developmental disabilities or special learning needs. They need more than a teacher who tells them what to do; they need an adult who will listen to them and work with them on their individual needs.

In the words of Temple Grandin, "Kids have to be exposed to different things to develop.

A child’s not going to find out he likes to play a musical instrument if you never exposed him to it."

My classroom assistant and I create a positive and interactive learning environment where our kids know that they are welcome, loved, appreciated, are safe, and can succeed.

My Project

As students are preparing to return to school after a year of distance learning due to the pandemic, I want to ensure my library represents all students in my class when reading and learning about science. I have also included an inflatable solar system to help visualize the solar system.

The books I have selected represent many different people in science.

My library is limited and I need to ensure all of my students feel welcome and represented in my classroom. Thank you so much for considering donating to this project.
