My Project

I am a Special Education teacher teaching 12:1:1 classrooms with diverse learners. My mission is to make our classroom feel like home and a safe place for all my students.

In order to create all access points for learning, lessons must be visually appealing and extremely creative to inspire learning and keep them both interested and motivated.

This will be done by using the chart paper.

Keeping a clean and healthy environment for my students is also a priority. We will use paper towels and Clorox wipes to achieve this. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated to facilitate my fabulous students learning. They and I thank you in advance.

Ms. Silvio Intermediate School 227 Louis Armstrong Grades 6-8
