My Students

Most of my students are currently non ambulatory as a result of illness or injury. They are attending school in an acute rehabilitation hospital. The students are often distracted from learning because of pain, medication, sadness and anger. The children in my class are from New York and the surrounding areas. We also accept and treat children from other States and from out of this county.

My students 4 to 21 years of age are currently hospitalized for an extended period for intensive rehabilitation.

They receive medical, speech, psychological, occupational, physical and educational intervention daily while in the hospital. It is the goal to reunite students with their friends, families and home district school classmates. My kids have suffered brain injury, physical delays, cognitive and social delays as a result of accidents and illness. Students have a wide range of challenges which are a result of amputations, stroke, cancer, surgeries and other complicated life circumstances. I work for NYC DOE Hospital Schools which supports teachers in 38 NYC Hospitals. My students are warriors they fight the fight every day pushing past the pain.

My Project

Students will learn the joy of reading by focusing on two major authors Patricia Polacco and Roald Dahl. By completing an author study it allows students practice at developing an opinion based on what they have read. They can learn to refer to text in drawing conclusions, making predictions and comparing styles.

When students start stealing books, This is a very good thing.

Polacco and Dahl are two of the favorite authors in my class. Dahl offers lighthearted fun while Polacco pulls on the heart strings and makes human connections.

Kids love science, microscopes allows a secret opening into learning
