My Students

I teach social studies to 13-20-year-olds with a variety of intellectual, emotional and behavioral disorders. Although my students have different abilities they are all required to pass the NYS global and U.S. regents exam to graduate.

The majority of the students live on campus or are from low-income inner-city households.

Some of these students have been placed in foster care due to neglect or traumatic home experiences. 95% of our school population receive free or reduced-cost lunch. As a result, our school and our classrooms promote a more therapeutic environment for students to learn and grow.

My students are brilliant individuals who want to succeed. In order for my students to grow academically, socially, and mentally they require a more individualized approach. My students need access to supplies to help ease their anxiety in the classroom and to provide them with learning experiences that will help them to become successful members of society.

My Project

The donations I am seeking will go toward getting LEGO Brick Sets. All of my students are currently reading below grade level and need extra support in understanding the content. Model replicas will allow students to engage in the content.

The LEGO sets will allow the students to recreate historical places and events to help them build a deeper connection to the content.

The LEGO bricks will be used to recreate historical events and places, creating a unique learning experience for them. This will aid in the learning of students with a variety of learning deficits.
