My Project

My student have specific learning disabilities and come from lower socioeconomic areas. All of my students are sweet and loving and want to do well in school. I want to help give them the chance to succeed in school and prepare them for life beyond the school building.

Flexible seating and tummies that don't rumble make for ready learners.

When students are having their specially designed instruction they need to be ready for learning. We are working on specific skills to close gaps and get my students to grade level.

My kids and I work on reading, writing, math and behaviors. Gaining student trust begins with creating a strong relationship with each student. I cherish each one of them and want the best for them. This is a small start for me to give them some tools to help them get through the day,

Mrs. McDermott
