Our school is for students with special needs who, because of severe emotional and behavioral issues, have not been able to learn successfully at their regular schools. They learn a little bit differently and are a little more difficult to engage due to their tremendous emotional needs. We work hard to be able to accommodate their differences, correct their behaviors with gentle guidance and keep them in school and in class!
Our school provides a safe place where students can learn from their mistakes in a nurturing environment, develop coping skills that will allow them to be successful in all settings, and master problem-solving strategies while engaging in the district-wide academic curriculum.
Our daily goal is to keep our students in a learning environment where they can experience academic success. The ultimate goal is to give them the coping strategies they need to be able to be successful in all areas of their lives. We strive to give them the kind of high-quality lessons and activities that will authentically engage them in rigorous learning and enable them to become happy and productive citizens.
My Project
We all know the joy of a brand new book. Not all of our students are able to experience this joy, however, due to having not acquired the reading skills that would allow them to enjoy a good book. Because of their social - emotional issues, the overwhelming majority of our students read far below grade level. It is so important to teach children the joy and adventure that can be found in a book, and what better place to start then some of these classics. Dr. Seuss, Curious George, and Mo Willems to get us started! We are really excited about the bilingual Curious George books these will be the first Spanish books in our library! These books will be used within the school building, as well as in the students homes as they will be allowed to check them out and take them home to read. We are very excited about building up our library with new and wonderful books such as these!
