Mrs. Kelso’s Classroom Edit display name

I serve students with special needs in a small elementary school. These students go to school and live in an economically disadvantaged environment. Throughout the school day, I travel around the school, serving my students in reading and math in a small group setting. Most of the time, I pick up my students, and we end up in a crowded corner of a general education classroom or crammed in a room/storage closet in the media center. Because I am not assigned to a single grade level, because I am not a general education teacher, because I don't have a home room roster, because I am not a self-contained special education teacher, our funding needs often fall through the cracks. Through generosity and kindness of people like you, my students can be exposed to a bigger world. Their eyes can be opened to a brighter future than they never imagined. Please, help me make a difference in these children's lives and education.
