My Students

As teachers in an inclusion class in a Title I school, my co-teacher and I have students that face many challenges daily. These challenges can range from not knowing who is going to pick them up from school that day to not having someone home to help them with their homework. Some students come to school hungry and without supplies. Inclusion also means teaching students with and without special needs (students with and without IEPs). These special needs can include specific learning disabled, autism, other health impairments, and cerebral palsy.

If you were to walk into our "inclusion" classroom, you would not be able to tell which students have special needs and which do not.

They all have unique and special needs that we need to meet.

We consider each child as an individual with unique needs. We teach the whole child. We meet each pupil where they are emotionally, behaviorally, socially, and educationally to help them succeed to their highest potential.

My Project

I am currently teaching 1st grade inclusion 100% virtually. At this point, we don't know when we will be returning to the classroom. I teach from my school building. I try to do most of my planning at school, but sometimes, I have to take things home with me.

The HP laptop in this project will allow me to have a reliable device to work on from home.

Having this new laptop will allow me to have a working device at home. I will no longer have to carry my other one back and forth. This laptop will allow me to develop creative and engaging lessons for my first graders. I will be able to access all the sites I am able to access at school.

Computers are the lifeline between teachers, students, and parents during virtual teaching. Thank you for taking the time to read my project. I appreciate all of your support!
