My Students

I am currently a fully self-contained preschool special education teacher in a Title I elementary school in Hawaii. More than half of my students are from low income families. I have preschool students with various disabilities and delays including autism, fine motor, gross motor, speech/communication, behavior management, social emotional needs developmental delays and medically fragile.

My students are full of energy, loving, caring, spirited and eager to learn group.

My Project

The COVID 19 pandemic has dramatically changed the way we teach our students/children.

While teachers educate students face to face or through distance learning virtually during the day, parents are helping to educate their children throughout the day at home.

Parents are making sure their child understands the new concepts learned and help to prepare them for the next days lessons. Each quarter, learning packets are sent home to give the students the necessary work to practice the skills they learned.

I want to set up a lending library so my preschool students can practice the skills they learned during class time (face to face or distance learners). I would like to send home a book and an activity such as a puzzle or an item made through the use of Teacher Pay Teacher that will make learning fun and engaging for both student and parent. My hope is that my student and their parent will enjoy doing the activities together while at the same time developing skills such as vocabulary, comprehension, communication, following directions, focusing and social skills.

I am very grateful to my parents for helping to educate their child at home. My goal is to make learning at home enjoyable and memorable for both parent and their child.
