My Students

I teach a special education preschool program in a rural Utah town. My students consist of special education toddlers, age two to five, along with twelve typically developing children who serve as peer models. I have quite the spectrum of ability levels in my classroom from very young, differently abled children who are experiencing their first time away from parents, all the way up to pre-kindergarten students who are reading on their own.

I love teaching a broad spectrum of students.

I think what I enjoy the most about preschool age children is their ability to explore the world around them and find wonder in their imaginations. The reason I feel that our program is so special is that preschool is the only time that SPED children will experience full inclusion with their typically developing peers. I have seen so many benefits for developing children as they learn and play with each other.

My Project

I have requested a digital Polaroid camera and film to use in my SPED preschool classroom. This project is part 2 of a DonorsChoose grant with an Insect Unit. I think this project will encourage children to gain an interest in science. I hope that as they study insects and create personalized projects with use of the camera that they will understand science is a continuum of curiosity and research, and that their interests will be self lead.

In my first insect project, I requested insect unit materials to teach students about life cycles and types of insects.

In this project, we will capture insects and photograph them so that we can classify our finds together as a class.
