My Students

Hello! Our school building houses kindergarten, first and Autistic Support classrooms. We are located in Northeast Philadelphia.

Our students are hard working students who enjoy different learning styles.

The teachers enjoy teaching to different learning styles including kinesthetic, artistic and musical. We work together to create fun projects that engage all learning styles.

Our students come back a variety of backgrounds and a speak a variety of languages. We enjoy activities that bring all the children together to celebrate their similarities as well as uniqueness!

My Project

My students are amazing learners who are working hard to accomplish tasks independently! This Learning Tower will be filled with 'task boxes' for students to choose an academic or life skill task. Students will be exposed to a variety of tasks including counting, letter identification, folding, matching and pattern making. Students will master each task at their own pace and move on to more difficult boxes!

The goal in my classroom is independence.

These task boxes will allow students have a variety of activities at their individual level. It will allow easy access for students as well as create an organized, neat classroom.
