My Project

My students are from the inner city of Milwaukee, one of Wisconsin's most poverty-stricken cities. All of my students are special education students whose disabilities range from intellectual to emotional behavior disorders. My students are all in the general education classrooms, which means they need extra support from me in order to progress along with their peers. My students come to school daily ready to learn and try new things, no matter the obstacles in their way. My students are the most inspiring little people I know!

Having a calm, clean classroom will help my students stay focused on what really matters—THE WORK!

These supplies will be great for my students and our classroom.
