My Project

I work with students who have emotional impairments, and activities like our class store or craft activities bring joy to young people who may not always have the opportunity to see a lot of positives. The TIDES Program provides intensive support students who need to learn pro-social interactions with peers and adults alike. We are so proud of our young people growing from a place where they are obstructing the learning of themselves and others to finding their value in the classroom, and how to be successful both socially and academically. The self-funded classroom store is a weekly opportunity for students to use classroom cash to purchase items that they are often not accustomed to being able to access. This is a secondary reinforcement that helps them make goals (behaviorally) that are aligned with the traits of successful learners. The other items on my list are to help provide hands-on learning and enjoy the beauty of spring. We have completed numerous STEM activities this year, and building birdhouses and birdbaths/feeders is coming up. This will help introduce our unit on migration and the role of birds in our local habits. Thank you for seeing the value in ALL young learners!
