Mrs. Scalo’s Classroom Edit display name

Your custom url is https://www.donorschoose.org/mrs-scalo

I am currently the technology teacher and technology integration specialist for my district. My students receive free lunch daily due to their economic status. They all come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, most of them living in single parent households. For these learners, school provides them with their only safe haven and structure. For many of my students, school is the only safe environment they are exposed to. It is a place where they should feel safe and secure from many of life's everyday challenges. These students are amazing survivors. They have ambition and drive, all essential qualities that we, as educators, do our best to nurture and embrace. We do need more opportunities for student choice and where they can sit to learn the best that they can.
