My Students

I teach 4th and 5th grade special education students. My students are creative, funny, and work hard. They have a range of abilities and personalities that always keep us on our toes trying to find the best to teach them, both educationally and socially.

My students are the best in the school and make my job fun and rewarding.

They have overcome many challenges and show up daily to learn. They struggle with intellectual and physical disabilities but they come to school with a smile regardless of how they feel or what is going on at home. I am blessed to get to work with these great kids everyday.

My Project

My students have disabilities and challenges learning. Many of these challenges include sensory and noise issues. It can be extremely hard for them to concentrate and work hard when there are so many distractions for them. These noise cancelling head phones will help them reduce back-ground sound and allow them to calm down and focus on their individual work.

In our classroom we are always looking for creative ways to teach, many of those ways include technology.

We use technology daily including working on educational programs. We also teach social and communication skills by Zooming with community groups. Quality headphones are needed for school learning as well as distance learning that we have been occasionally experiencing with Covid-19.
