My Students

My students are special education students that are in a co-teach setting. They come to school every day with the will to learn but are missing some very important skills that keep them from finding success in the classroom. Our school is in a rural area where most families are low income.

My students all have strengths and very specific challenges.

While I do my best everyday to help them celebrate their strengths often times it is their weaknesses that they tend to focus on. They all learn in a very different manner. This project will be very helpful to each and everyone of them as it will allow them to learn while encouraging them to engage with their peers.

My Project

Students in second grade are pushed to begin learning more information at a much faster pace then they are used too. My students are missing some very essential skills that they need to achieve success. The skills that are missing are skills that are usually taught during the previous grades through interactive learning stations. The items that I am asking for will make a big difference for my students.

George Evan's said, "Every student can learn, just not on the same day or in the same way." This project will allow my students the opportunity to learn the skills they need in a fun interactive way.

There is nothing better than seeing the smile on their faces as they find success. This project will help them along their educational journey by reminding them of the experiences of their past.
