My Project

My students are eager to learn. They come every day excited and ready to face the daily challenge of learning and growing their minds and abilities. I have 22, amazing students in my life skills classroom. Each one brings something different and interesting to make our classroom what it is.

It is up to me to make sure and reach each one in the best way that I can and help them to continue growing.

I have an amazingly supportive administrative team that enjoys visiting our classroom and seeing the incredible growth that our students are making each day.

I look at my students as blank books. I have been placed into their lives to help them write their pages in their books of life every day. I hope and pray for these items to help them be able to do this in the best way possible! My students need basic items such as paint, paint brushes and paint trays to allow them to create projects in color and use paint in their daily work and tasks. They can work on their IEP tasks in fun ways with paint and not even know they are learning! Paint makes everything better and more fun! The laminating pouches and ink will then allow me, their special education teacher, to create individualized work tasks that are created specifically for them, solely based on their individual education plans. My students work so hard and need a variety of items in order to grasp certain concepts. I can only imagine and dream what kind of an impact these items will have on my classroom. My students are eager and ready to learn. I just need to be able to have the right tools to put into place in order for them to excel.
