My Students

"Every day is a new day" is my motto. With my students, this is important because every day is a different challenge or battle. My students all have been classified as having a learning disability. Some of my students have been classified as being learning disabled, emotionally disturbed, speech and language impaired, and/or Autistic. They all learn through different means and modes. In addition, many of their families are low-income and/or lack education due to poverty or immigration status. Despite their hardships, my students are eager to learn. They crave to be successful in and out of the classroom. I want to be able to continue to create meaningful learning experiences.

All my students deserve a chance to be successful.

In a rigorous academic school community, it is easy to forget about the learning disabled population. They are often forgotten because of their inabilities. I believe that my students can be successful; I desire to make creative and positive experiences to help them learn and become everyday citizens!

My Project

Students will be able to use the bins to store their personal school materials in class such as notebooks, pencils, sharpeners, rulers, crayons, glue etc. During this Covid time, we are not allowed to share materials as we once did in our classroom community. We as a class community, will utilize technology to the utmost capacity, the stylus pens come very handy for interactive lessons. Students will participate using their tablets/iPads to answer questions with minimal contact but continuous participation. To keep our room sanitized the air purifier is needed.
