My Students

Many of the students in our school come from low-income households and face a variety of challenges. Our school is small, with a tight-knit and supportive community, and we strive to provide an environment that allows our students to grow and thrive.

My students are curious about the world.

They love to ask questions, gain and share information, and try to make sense of everything they hear. They need some extra time and support to fully understand and make themselves understood, but they are motivated to be engaged members of the community. I want them to feel encouraged to stay inquisitive and informed about the world they live in.

My Project

One of the best ways to support language development in children is by sharing books with them. Many of my students work on sequencing stories and retelling them in their own words, and books such as the There Was an Old Lady series help them develop that skill. My older students who are working on understanding multiple-meaning words and figures of speech will have a lot to work with in the Amelia Bedelia books! For my students who are working on constructing simple sentences, either using speech or communication devices, repetitive books like Brown Bear, Brown Bear allow them many opportunities to hear and make different types of sentences.
