My Project

Our project is designed to support students with special and behavioral needs at a Title I school, many of whom are English language learners. Through engaging reading activities and developing essential life skills, we aim to build a strong foundation for academic and personal success. By integrating hands-on learning experiences and reading opportunities, students not only enhance their literacy skills but also learn valuable life skills such as communication, problem-solving, and self-regulation. This holistic approach empowers them to thrive in the classroom and beyond, fostering a love of learning and confidence in their abilities.

Ms. Vea Kalihi Elementary School Grades PreK-2
