My Students

My classroom is a mix of students with special education needs and general education students. All of my students' needs are vast, but they love to learn and they work very hard. They want to grow as students, as well as individuals. They are a class of individuals with many different learning styles and needs.

My students are learners and they try their hardest to be the best students they can.

However, many of them have learning disabilities or speech and language delays. They learn in many different ways and have many different needs.

Many of my students come from low, socioeconomic homes and school is their safety net. We are a Title I school where all of our students receive free lunch. It's a place where they feel safe and cared for.

My Project

We need copy paper, pencils, clipboards, and folders for our classroom. We are running low on these basic classroom supplies. We need these supplies to organize our work. We need them to print out our daily tasks and classwork. We need pencils to write with and clipboards to lean on for our gallery walks. We also need a variety of fidget toys for rewards. Fidget toys can be beneficiary for students how have trouble focusing or students who have anxiety. These toys will be a hit our classroom and help us focus on our learning!
