My Students

"Good morning class! I love your beautiful smiles!"

Each and every day, my students love to learn and play together.

We truly enjoy our time together in our Google Meets. We work as a team to build strong bonds as we transition deeper into virtual learning. I teach a group of students who love to move and interact with each other! I work with a wide range of visual and hands-on learners! My students truly make me happy! My students are my kids!

My students and I are a school-based family who sticks together through thick and thin. We enjoy sharing, learning, and working together as a team. My students look forward to group work and our virtual brain break time!

My Project

Each and every day I wrote our daily sight words, sounds, math equations, and more on our dry erase whiteboard. My students would follow along as I pointed to each letter, word, sound, or equation. The dry erase whiteboard l will be used for direct instruction in the home. The puppet will be used to engage my learners at home. My students currently engage in breathing exercises with a visual print out of Lester the Toucan. I would love to bring Lester to life for my student to engage in calm breathing techniques, which are incorporated into our social skill groups.
