My Students

I am a special education teacher in a local city school system.

There are 16 students with special education services in grades K-5 at our school.

We are a Title I funded school in Virginia, and over half of the students in the school qualify to receive free or reduced price lunches. The school has 230 students of which 56% are white, 27% African American, and 8% are Asian. My students have varying disabilities including Autism, ADHD, and SLD.

My Project

I am requesting a few more Kindles and a charging station for my small reading groups since we have more students returning for in-person instruction. I recently was able to obtain a few Kindles for my students as well as a subscription for a reading application for the Kindles to expand the reading selection through my last Donors Choose project.

The great thing about the Kindles is I am able to have groups and easily wipe them clean for the next group and not have to quarantine books.

We also have access to a lot of different leveled books which is MUCH needed when teaching Special Education students K-5.
