My Students

I am a teacher of students with special needs and learning disabilities. Although they face academic difficulties, they have such amazingly positive attitudes towards learning. They come to school each day with smiles and work hard to reach successes in their goals. I love seeing their growth and their ability to meet their milestones. I love when their faces light up with pride! It is why I teach them and why they deserve the same educational opportunities as their general education peers.

My Project

Upon walking into my classroom, you will see the faces of 9 amazing children. Each one is special and brings so much joy to our classroom family. My students have specials needs; some with Autism, some with Specific Learning Disabilities, and others with Health Impairments. They may have a lot to face in their everyday and personal lives, but in the classroom, they are just kids who deserve all the opportunities in the world to learn and be successful.

We are working on improving their reading and using different modalities of learning, such as a listening center, will help our stars shine!
