About my class

My class consists of grades K, 1, 2, and 3. We are a "resource room" type setting for special education. Most of my students spend most of the day with me to receive their core academic instruction. My students range from moderate needs to extensive/pervasive needs. My students have various types of disabilities. I have students with autism, Down Syndrome, specific learning disabilities, and learning and behavior issues that have arisen from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and/or methamphetamine addiction at birth. Our elementary school instructs students in grades Pre-K (3 year olds) through sixth grade. My students are eager to learn and they learn and retain information through repetition and hands-on activities. My students are absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, due to their disabilities, people may not have high expectations for them. I try to find creative ways to reach my students and help them become the highest achieving person they can be!
