My Students

My students are part of a cross-categorical, self-contained, special education K-2 class. Many of these students come from broken homes or have parents who struggle to engage in the academic process. I love my students because every day they come to school ready to learn and give me their very best effort, despite the difficulties they face from day to day.

My Project

Teachers have been left with the lingering effects of distance learning due to the school closures during the 2020 school year. In an effort to counter these negative effects of decreased academic progress and low student motivation my proposed project is to curate a classroom collection of books and supplies that will provide my special education students the opportunity to build on or challenge initial understanding, thereby improving cognitive skills. Furthermore, this collection will increase knowledge, introduce a more appropriate form of entertainment, increase social awareness and behavioral skills and inspire special education students to reach their fullest potential. The first item is an iPad for the whole class. This technology will help us to learn how to recognize letter names (Standard RF.K.1d), how to manipulate sounds (Standard RF.K.2a, and RF.K.2e), and even learn digraphs and diphthongs (Standard RF.K.2d). I've also asked for reading books that will help us make the most common sound for each consonant (RF.K3a), read high-frequency words (RF.K.3c), and follow from left to right, top to bottom, and page to page (RF.K.1a) The math books will help us name the number for each thing in a group as counted (Math.K.CC.A.4.A) and understand that the last thing I count tells the number of things in a group (Math.K.CC.A.4B) The Lego sets that were requested to help us to add numbers within 10 (Math.K.OA.A.5), subtract numbers within 10 (Math.K.OA.A5), use simple shapes to make larger shapes (Math.K.G.A.6.) and tell if a shape is two-dimensional (flat) or three-dimensional (solid). (Math.K.G.A.3) Finally, I requested reinforcers I can use as manipulative or provide motivation for students to continue putting forth their best effort. These last two years have been so hard. Your generous contribution to our classroom is greatly appreciated and will make a huge difference in bridging the gap.
