My Students

Our school is a kindergarten through 8th grade school in the Fairmount area of Philadelphia. Most of my students are bused to school. They are from all areas of Philadelphia. There are 20 students with all intellectual disabilities in this life skills support classroom. The students enjoy listening to stories each day, however our classroom library and school funds are very limited. The students and I wish we had a more extensive classroom library in our classroom! We would also love a place to put these books!

My Project

The life skill students enjoy read alouds each school day. For most students, that is their favorite part of the school day. Our classroom library is very limited. We often have to borrow books from other classrooms or repeat the same books. The students will be thrilled to listen to new stories this school year. The students are in this classroom for three years. They have listened to the same books each school year. The students would love to have a more extensive classroom library and a place to put the books. The students would love to hear new read alouds this school year!
