My Students

My students have all been identified as highly gifted. These children have special needs and require a differentiated instructional program to provide them with a challenging and rigorous academic setting. My students are inquisitive and thoughtful. They love to learn! It is important to bring in as many supplemental materials as possible to stimulate their minds and encourage their exploration of new concepts.

As a teacher, it is my job to meet the unique needs of my students by helping them to build on all aspects of learning including their social-emotional needs.

According to John Gottman Ph.D., "In the last decade or so, science has discovered a tremendous amount about the role emotions play in our lives. Researchers have found that even more than IQ, your emotional awareness and abilities to handle feelings will determine your success and happiness in all walks of life, including family relationships."

My Project

My students need the book "Speak Up and Get Along" by Scott Cooper, to give them the opportunity to understand how they can empower themselves and be assertive through the use of different strategies and tools.

This book is a collection of 21 strategies for students to use to help them to learn how to express themselves, build relationships, end arguments and fights, halt bullying, and beat unhappy feelings.

Your donation will help me to provide my students with the book “Speak Up and Get Along,” which is full of real-life examples they can easily relate to and remember. It will teach them social skills and strategies they need to use to become more successful in many aspects of life. We thank you so much for your support!
