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
I would like to educate my preschoolers to respect each other, to embrace differences of themselves and others and to learn problem solving skills in the process. Learning these skills will help to increases their chance to thrive, be successful and be a happier person in school and beyond.
In a safe environment I would like to expose my students to diversity by providing my students with various toys such as dolls, puzzles, and books.
I would like my students to be kind, respectful, to know that it’s okay to be different and to learn that race and every culture is different and equally important.
My hope is that my students carry this learning and belief throughout life and become successful individuals.
More than half of students from low‑income households
