My Students

I teach 3rd-grade students in an inclusion classroom. This includes students with ADHD, speech and language disorders, autism, and Spanish Speakers. Most of my students are on free or reduced-price lunch. Even with these struggles, they come to school every day, ready to learn and always put their best foot forward! My students are very dedicated to their learning and I am always trying to find ways to add to our classroom to make learning fun and give them memorable experiences.

My Project

These are this year's Sunshine State Books for grades 3-5. Each year, students are challenged to read them and if they read a certain amount, they get to vote on their favorite book state wide. Our school also takes students on a filed trip if they read them all!!!

My students also need a wireless mouse to help them with their school work this year.

Even though we are back in the classroom, they are still required to complete some work online. The mouse pads on the laptops are very difficult for them to navigate. It would be so much easier if they had an actual mouse.
