My Project

My Students

As a special education teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with challenges both in and out of the classroom on a daily basis.

Despite these challenges, I am looking to provide my students with positive & meaningful learning experiences.

My students are my world!

They love to be read to and love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things, may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I focus on their strengths not their disabilities! I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. I am fortunate enough to be able to spend time with my students every day! By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic success.

My Project

In receiving audiobooks for my students with special needs, they would be able to achieve a multitude of new skills including but certainly not limited to effective communication skills , increased academics and literacy exposure, positive reinforcement, and so on.

I am so excited about this incredible opportunity for them.

With the use of audiobooks, subjects could be brought to life! They would be able to widen their knowledge base by the use of technology in the classroom by a multi-sensory approach. It`s an AMAZING way to incorporate all subject matters!
