My Students

My class consists of kindergarten. first and second grade students with special needs. Kindergarten, first and second grades are the foundation to education. Our students learn in many different ways using all of our senses and multiple intelligences. We use a wide range of techniques to help all the students succeed no matter what their level. Most of the students come from families from a low socioeconomic status, with over 80% of our students qualify for the free lunch program. Our school is also culturally diverse.

My Project

Our school is a caring community of successful learners, which can be seen through collaborative student, project based learning in and out of the classroom.

The students in my class love to work with hands-on materials and have many different opportunities to practice a skill before it is mastered.

The students in my class need visual stimulating materials to help them in their learning. These vibrant adorable hand puppets will grab their attention and interest as soon as they see them! Teaching the letter names and the sounds that go with them will be exciting when the puppet is taken out to introduce the letter. The puppet is the visual for the beginning sound. Students will also be able to use them in groups to spell CVC words. They will also use them to to assist them in coming up with other words that begin with the same letter / sound.
