My Students

My students are my world. They mean so much to me. The children that I work with are special needs with various disabilities from grades K-8th. I have recently taken on this position and I am looking to bring a new vibrant program to this population which is very much needed. To ensure to set an example which encourages experimentation and exploration of movements. I am kindly asking for contributions toward this program for my students so they will be able to have a program and materials they deserve. Thank you in advance for any help.

My Project

Performing arts are an essential method of communicating, learning, and emotions which is my reason for choosing ''20'' music and lyrics notebooks. We perceive the world through senses and arts allowing this population of students to understand, observe, explore and experiment. Through dance appreciating the history and culture brings traditional meaning to body movement and beauty. This is why I chose tutus and belly dance skirts. Playing musical instruments such as the drums brings shape to telling stories, objects, people, places, and feelings. Backdrops bring life and enhancement with visual impact that makes a presentation unforgettable.
