My Students

We all need a little motivation to strive a little harder to be the best we can be!

My class is a Special Education Preschool class on a general education elementary school.

All of my students have special needs but work just as hard if not harder than their peers in a general education classroom. My students are only 3 yrs to 5 yrs of age. Sometimes they work just has hard as kindergarteners.

My Project

We all little a little motivation to work a little harder. My students work harder and faster for opportunities to use the educational electronics in the classroom. My students practice writing their names on their own. They are also learning to recognize all the letters of the alphabet, which half of my pre-kindergartners already know. Not having enough of the motivations tools is our biggest problem.

Being about to be reward the Leapsters for the classroom would mean the preschoolers will have more resources to be rewarded with to help and assist them be better students.

My students inspire me to be a better teacher and I will do my best to provide them with as many resources they need to be motivated and provide a classroom that will enrich their learning.
