My Students

I have the ultimate pleasure of working with smart, enthusiastic and hardworking kindergarteners in a Title I NYC public school. Our school services a beautifully diverse group of children, who come to school ready to try new things in order to grow both personally and academically. I am so proud of our loving class, which is part of the ASD Nest program, an integrated approach to teaching both students on the autism spectrum and neurotypical learners.

As an ASD Nest Program school, we believe that our students learn best when the class adapts according to the needs of all its the students.

I am looking forward to a school year filled with problem solving, learning and growth. I have no doubt that our group of young and insightful students will achieve wonderful things this year.

My Project

I would love to give my students the tools they need to gain independence while learning math and reading skills. These tools will not only help them to practice, but also help them to make connections. We have been in school 2-3 days a week. This has been difficult for them, so consistency in their activities is vital.

I could not be prouder of the work my students have already accomplished this school year.

I can imagine their excitement when they see new and interactive games or them to play and master skills they are working on.
