My Project
I find immense satisfaction in working with my students. In my role within the EC field, I prioritize meeting each student at their individual level and supporting their growth beyond expectations. While external factors may present limitations, my classroom provides a nurturing and supportive environment where I focus on each student's potential and capabilities.
Every child deserves access to quality education and support; therefore, I remain a consistent advocate for all my students.
Having flexible seating, a new rug and other items in my classroom will give my students a relaxed calm setting to excel on this journey through school!
A deskless classroom provides many benefits. Most of my students have stemming and emotional support needs. Being expected to sit at a desk is hard for any student. My motto is create a space for growth to take place. I want my kids to know when they are in my class not only are they loved in addition they are supported granted opportunities comfortable and safe.
