My Students

My students are smart, kind, and polite teens with special needs. They absolutely love coming to school and greeting each other with warm hugs and smiles.

My classroom consists of sixth to eighth grade students with diverse learning and communication needs.

Most of my students come from low income households with limited access to technology.

These students absolutely love coming to school each day and are always ready to learn. They care about each other and always try their best to complete any task asked of them. My students would be so appreciative of any help you could provide!

My Project

My special education students learn best through hands-on activities. They need language arts and mathematics games to help them master academic skills. My students benefit from repetition, so having educational games allows them to continue working on skills in a fun and exciting way! Many of my students are unable to complete pencil and paper tasks for long periods of time, so having a variety of educational games allows them to take the breaks they need while still learning. The games will provide my students with a fun way to work on their goals!
