My Students

My students come to me from all over town, bringing with them varying levels of needs and experiences. They are each unique individuals with incredible potential. My classroom contains three grade levels and many more developmental levels, with some of my students functioning in the low cognitive range and some in the average cognitive range.

My students live for school.

They love learning and playing. They are our future and learning to make their community the best it can be.

My Project

My students needs various books to read when we are learning about different science topics, our community, and safety. There are many topics that are important for kids to learn about. Creating well rounded and caring students is just as important as creating students who can read and write.

The more that a student can understand their community and how things work then the better they can interact with it.

My students love to read books and learn how the world works. This kind of knowledge excites them and creates the curiosity that will carry them through life as life long learners.
