My Project

Hello! I’m a brand new teacher to students with autism from kindergarten to second grade. I think these are amazing students and my plan is to use circle time to teach academics as well as social and emotional growth to help them learn and grow. This is very important to me because when I was younger I was diagnosed with autism. I had good and bad teachers and I want to be an amazing one. Helping me with supplies with circle time will help my students become hard working and functional adults. Anything that can be spared is appreciated!
