My Students

My classroom consists of wonderful and talented students. I am a middle school special education teacher that teaches both general education students, as well as students with disabilities. Our school is a wonderful learning community, here to serve children of all needs and capabilities. The students in our school are amazing kids who face extreme challenges in and outside of the classroom due to high poverty.

Our school is also a Leader in Me school, where students receive weekly instruction based on Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

We are a Title I public school. Our students receive free breakfast and lunch. We work hard to make our classroom a community and a family away from home. To make this happen, we have a variety of places in our classroom to learn in many different ways.

My Project

The purpose of the Leadership SEL elective is to teach 21st century leadership and life skills and to create a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader.

This year we hope to foster strong relationships with our community by having student led activities and events.

With your donation students will create individual care packages with daily essentials: deodorant, a new toothbrush, toothpaste, and shampoo. With the resources requested we should have enough to make at least 60 packages.

Students will also include a card with an inspirational message.
