My Students

I have an AMAZING group of dynamic students who love to engage in new learning experiences and make connections. While in person, we generally embark in community based field trips about once a week visiting many places within our city and suburbs, such as science and art museums, restaurants, zoos, supermarkets, and more. Another part of our curriculum relies heavily on foundational life skills, such as cooking and kitchen hygiene. By collaboratively reading recipes and making food, the students have increased their self-esteem while learning practical skills.

My Project

In honor of our cohort, the Drexel Dragons, I invite you to jump on the "Dragon Wagon"! We are learning in person, but confined to our classroom or play yard for academic and social emotional instruction. While keeping with Covid safety protocols, each child needs their own personal materials. A huge component of school success that was missing while learning virtually was socialization and collaborative hands-on projects. As a supplement to our numerous virtual field trips to art museums, science centers, zoos, music classes, gardens, and theater productions, I am requesting materials and toys to recreate these events. Some ideas are LEGOs, snacks for a student-led class store, headsets with microphones, playground equipment, animal figurines, spirograph, sand/putty and colored pencils to either help with academics, occupational skills, or social emotional growth. Individually, these materials will utilize their critical thinking and problem solving skills. Collectively, they can have competitions based on themes and share out their feedback on what their classmates created.
