My Students

“Sometimes real superheroes live in the hearts of small children fighting big battles.”

~ Anonymous

My students are my superheroes. They are intelligent and capable. They are unique, caring, and hilarious. Each day brings on a new adventure, and I love to watch them explore and grow.

My students all have special needs. They are in an inclusive classroom 100% of the time. I collaborate with another beautiful teacher and two amazing aides who help to bring out the best in these children.

My Project

I am currently using a very limited, district issued, Lenovo computer to create and present lessons to my students. With a Macbook Pro I will be able to do so much more, including hooking up the school projector and displaying the lesson on the white board. This will enable lessons to become more interactive and will further engage my students who have special needs.

Our preschool is a certified STEAM school, one of the few in the entire district.

Having access to an adequate laptop is imperative to the growth, development, and success of my student's education. The portable laptop desk will be a huge help when taking the lessons outdoors. It will allow me to set up the laptop in a safe and secure area.

In addition we do not have access to color ink at our school site. There are many different materials that need to be printed in color for our students. Having the ability to provide that to them without the burden of spending money on ink cartridges throughout the year would be amazing!
