My Students

I am a kindergarten through second-grade special education teacher in my hometown elementary school of Bradford, Pennsylvania. My classroom provides emotional and autistic support services. The classroom focuses on relationships, routines, and reinforcement, as students work towards individual goals and curriculum.

My students work as a family, as noted by their kindness and regard we show to each other.

If one observed our classroom, they would see students working together in academic, social, and play centers. You would hear and see synergizing, proactivity, goal statements, and students following their passions.

My Project

All of our students want to learn and we want to teach. Students want to move and we want to see them moving. They want to stay in control and feel good about themselves, and we want to offer ways to help them reach this goal. This project can achieve all three goals by funding bikes: learning, movement, and mental health.

This project will fund bikes that will enable the students to take their movement breaks while exercising, listening to educational songs on numbers, letters and sounds, nursery rhymes, etc.
