My Students

"Be the change you want to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi said, and my students apply this quote in my classroom and dream big every day.

Our school is a Title I elementary school located in New York City.

The government has classified 56% of our school's population as economically disadvantaged and every day many students rely upon the free and reduced price lunch program to nourish them. I am a Special Education teacher with a class of 6 wonderful 8 and 9 year old students who enter each day eager and excited to learn. My students are diagnosed with multiple disabilities including: speech and language impairment, learning disability, autism, emotionally disturbance, ADHD, and other health impairments.

My Project

My students would love to practice their reading skills individually since they are all on different levels. I have a range of electronic books they can listen to online to help with their fluency. But, unfortunately we don'™t have headphones! Headphones will help my students to become Rockin Readers! They will be able to log on to the computer and block out all noises besides their books being read aloud to them as they follow along. Headphones will allow all readers to work at their individual level without distracting sounds from the computer next to them. Headphones would put a huge smile on their faces! In addition, we were lucky enough to receive an ipad mini from a previous donor. However we need a protective case/stand so we don't break it. The case stand will also help the students to work together allowing all group members to see whats displayed.

Thank you for considering helping my students and for your belief in the value of public education.

I believe that with support we can truly change the lives of children. I want my students to believe in themselves. I want to show them that not only I, but many people care for them, love them, and believe in them to succeed.
