My Students

I work in a self-contained classroom setting, supporting middle schoolers scoring anywhere from the first to seventh-grade math level. My goal year after year is to successfully teach all of the required math standards, while also finding ways to fully support my students who are not quite at grade level. My students love to use technology, so I try to incorporate instructional videos and other online components into my students' learning. I absolutely love what I do, and constantly strive to better my teaching ability by attending professional development tailored to special education and mathematics.

My students are incredibly kind, hardworking, respectful, and have a thirst for knowledge that motivates me to go above and beyond to make their learning environment the best it could be.

I have found over the years that collaboration and the incorporation of technology are both the most motivating factors that drive learning in the classroom. I find that this is especially accurate in the special education setting, as many of my students are visual and kinesthetic learners. This year, I want to make it easier for my students to have quick access to this technology.

My Project

Each year, I struggle to fund all of the supplies I really need for my special education classroom. The following supplies I've requested are the supplies that we still really need for the classroom to get us through the 2nd half of the school year: computer paper, thick cardstock, a new file organizer (mine recently broke), storage baskets for my students to keep their belongings in one place, and some new pencils.

As an algebra teacher, my students were already required to purchase very expensive calculators.

As a result, I limited the number of required supplies necessary for the school year to help bring costs down for my students. We do a lot of project-based learning activities in my classroom, as I teach Special Education, and many benefit from more hands-on activities. We use cardstock often to help create foldables for my students to keep and use on their assessments and in-class activities. Pencils are incredibly important at this point in the school year, as the state exams are quickly approaching and we're running very low!
