My Students

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, I work with students who are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences. These learning experiences include everything from math to reading to learning how to properly utilize technology.

My classroom serves students with a range of disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, emotional disturbance, autism spectrum disorder and specific learning disabilities.

The typical student in my class reads a level or more below their grade level and many struggle with basic phonics and number sense. The opportunity and achievement gaps are apparent among our student population.

Being able to learn how to read accurately will help my students be successful in all settings. Not only will my students be given the opportunity to support their own learning and passions, but they will have time to learn and work on the required skills needed in the future.

My Project

These books will help enhance the technology-rich world that we live in as students have lost the thought of what it means to sit and read a book.

I strive to create opportunities for my student's to read and by providing these options they may be able to find something they really love, opening the door to new opportunities.

My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy, they have opportunities to read in their free time and often ask for time to do so. Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time and fulfill reading needs for outside of my room.
