My Project

My students are a great group of hands-on, explicit learners. This is why story charts, math kits and literary writing tools are needed for them to feel successful. To say that my students are kind-hearted, hard-working and fun would be an understatement. I have the best group of students in the world and I am lucky enough to be looping with them and becoming their 3rd grade teacher. I was honored to teach this group of students in 2nd grade and decided to stay with them. As exciting as it is, this is their first time in 3rd grade and my first time teaching 3rd grade. Math is completely different in 3rd grade, with students learning multiplication and division. With all the new concepts they will be learning it will be helpful to give them the accelerated learning hands-on math kits.

I work in a Special Education classroom in a Title I Community school in Staten Island with limited resources.

My students come to school EVERY day eager to learn, despite what hardships they may be facing at home. I work hard to provide my students with a safe, loving and fun learning environment. Many of my students are still having difficulty reading on their grade level, while I do have a listening center in the classroom, I do need books of different genres to expose them to. Which would make the informational text read-alongs helpful. These material will aid in allowing me to effectively teach and for the students to enjoy learning.
