My Students

My students come from a variety of backgrounds. Teaching in a lower income area, some of my students have been to preschool while others have had no educational exposure at all. Each student comes to school excited and ready to learn.

My goal is to provide my students with the best possible educational experiences.

My students enjoy hands-on learning experiences and I strive to provide them with as many opportunities to explore learning and their environment on a daily basis.

My Project

This is my first year teaching inclusion and I have a few students that are in need of items that will help them in the regular education classroom. We are in need of scissors and pencil grips to help with our classroom projects. We are also in need of sensory items that will help these students when they are in need of ways to keep focused and calm. The items that I am requesting can help not only my students with special needs but can also be utilized by others in our classroom. Thank you for considering donating to out needs!
