My Students

I teach in a community school located in a high needs area. My students receive special education services. Each school year, I find that my kids have a tremendous amount of energy. They enjoy learning but need constant hands-on engagement throughout any lesson. This year, we face new challenges in our classrooms and I want to be sure that my students have what they need to succeed.

My kids are so special to me.

They need access to resources that will allow them to learn in all modalities whether they are in or out of the classroom. Every day I go to work, I want to make it a positive experience for them because that is what each one of them deserves.

New materials will increase the learning in my class and will allow my students to become excited and interested in learning in a way that allows them to discover and appreciate all that education has to offer. Having their own materials will enable them to work in safe way that is personalized just for them!

My Project

Games and tangible materials get kids excited to learn! The more I research, the more I am convinced that continuously practicing skills they learn is what is going to enable a child to thoroughly understand the material. I feel that practicing anything is always better when it is a game or when it's made into a fun experience. During this time, it is especially important that students practice what they are learning and that they love the time spent doing it. This project will help me continue to make learning fun.
