My Students

My classroom is a wonderful place filled with hardworking students and staff. Every day, I fall just a little bit more in love with their amazing hearts and smiles. Each child has an individual education plan to help them make progress on goals in the areas of functional academics, life skills, communication, and life skills.

My students are full of curiosity, energy, and incredible potential.

We focus on the positive and celebrate every success that they achieve. Each day I do my best to make sure that they have the necessary tools to succeed, but it takes a lot of equipment and materials to help meet their unique needs.

With the help of DonorsChoose.org, I am able to provide unique and engaging materials to help my students, who experience a variety of disabilities, overcome their challenges and let their abilities shine through.

My Project

My class has been watching painting pouring videos for the last few weeks and find it mesmerizing as well as calming. This week, while we had the a video running, I stopped the video and said "This looks easy, let's just do it now!". The kids were so excited as I pulled random art supplies out of the cabinet and started a demonstration. They quickly realized that it wasn't turning out like the video, which is exactly what I wanted. I was thrilled when one of my students announced "Ms. Bomber, we need to learn more about this!". This lead to finding videos that talked about the materials used and the process needed. It provided me the platform to teach students about what they watch/see on the internet is not always real but instead something to catch their attention. The students will research different paint pouring techniques and then have the opportunity to create their own art piece.
