My Students

My classroom is a wonderful place filled with hard working students and staff. Every day, I fall just a little bit more in love with their amazing hearts and smiles. Each child has an individual education plan to help them make progress on goals in functional academics, behavior, life skills, communication, and/or functional life skills.

My students are full of curiosity, energy, and incredible potential.

We focus on the positive and celebrate every success that they achieve. Each day I do my best to make sure that they have the necessary tools to succeed, but it takes a lot of equipment and materials to help meet their unique needs.

With the help of DonorsChoose.org, I am able to provide unique and engaging materials to help my students, who experience a variety of disabilities, overcome their challenges and let their abilities shine through.

My Project

A few weeks ago I discovered an amazing book "What Do You Do With A Problem?" and I was mesmerized with the story of a boy who avoids his problem which becomes bigger and bigger throughout the book. It ends with the thought that a problem isn't a bad thing, it's an opportunity! I read the story to my students and they loved it. The book is beautifully illustrated and captured every child's interest.

I would love to gift each student with a copy of this book that they can have at home to read when they are struggling with a problem.

Additionally, it would be wonderful to have more books in the classroom that address social skills, which is a big part of our curriculum in our special education classroom. Books that address how to handle frustration and mindfulness will be great tools for my students. I especially love the titles, "I Can Try", "I Will Be Okay" and "I Can Handle It" because it addresses everyday challenges in a positive way.

My students will truly benefit from these books and I can't wait to get them in their hands. Thank you for considering my project.
