My Project

Hello, I'm Ms. Nash, a first-year Special Education Resource Teacher at Benjamin Stoddert Middle School. I'm working to create a safe space where students who learn differently can feel calm, confident, and most importantly, supported.

This classroom is being built with their unique needs at the heart of every decision.

From sensory tools and calm-down corners to flexible seating, visual supports, and essential classroom basics; every item will help my students feel grounded and stay focused.

Thank you so much for helping turn this vision into reality. Your support means more than you know.

Ms. Nash Benjamin Stoddert Middle School Grades 6-8
