My Students

I am a second grade special education teacher teaching in a low-income neighborhood. My students are composed of new immigrants from China and families with low-income. Families in this community rely heavily on schools to help care for their children while they work long hours to make ends meet. These children depend on schools for their essential needs such as health and food.

Moreover, my students have special needs, compounded with this pandemic, it leads to a more difficult and frustrating situation when the students come back to school.

My Project

School supplies help facilitate our learning in all subject areas. Thus, supplies quickly run out during the school year because we are active and hands on learners. Notebooks, tapes, cover-up tape, crayons, and dry erase markers help us in all subject areas. Furthermore, we need to keep our learning environment clean and safe due to the pandemic, this prevents us from sharing supplies so we need even more supplies for each student.

We need notebooks, tapes, and cover-up tape during Writing Workshop to use for writing and revising our stories so we can become better writers.

Crayons and dry erase markers help us explore our creative side during Art or any down-time. All these tools are essential to our learning needs.
