My Students

My classroom includes 9 kindergarten-2nd grade students who are classified as deaf or hard of hearing. We use a combination of sign language and oral communication methods. Many of my students come from low-income families and they all receive free breakfast and lunch. Along with having a hearing loss, a majority of my students are also English language learners. Because they are in a specialized classroom, these children are often on long bus rides to and from school.

Even with long commutes and struggling families, these students are eager to learn!

They come into school excited to start the day. If I can give them six hours of a stable environment and structure and organization then I will do everything I can to make sure that can happen for them!

My Project

Having a classroom full of Kindergarteners gives me the opportunity to really spark their love of reading from day one. I want to fill my library with appropriately leveled books that hopefully will help each one of my little kiddos blossom into strong readers! The wobble cushions will be a great help in getting these youngsters to be able to sit and stay focused to learn all that they can! I think that the addition of the chair pockets and paper organizer will be great tools in keeping the classroom organized so that there are no distractions throughout the day. A new class set of scissors will help us create some beautiful art projects that are aligned to some exciting ELA and math lessons.
