My Students

My classroom is located at a Title I school in the W.C. School District. I have 14 students in the morning and 17 in the afternoon.

My class includes 31 children with developmental delays or disabilities.

I strive to provide appropriate curriculum and support, with the goal of each child being prepared to succeed in kindergarten.

My students are active and motivated to explore new opportunities and materials. School is a place where they feel safe and accepted, allowing them to gain new skills and develop a love of learning.

My Project

It is my goal to have a classroom with great education materials, opportunity for exploration and a calming and comforting atmosphere.

The calendar, magnetic shelves and pockets will support learning during circle time, while the fluorescent light filters will provide a more comfortable learning environment.

The magnetic shelves, pockets and calendar will allow me to continue to build an appropriate and engaging circle time routine.

The fluorescent light filters will reduce eye strain from fluorescent lighting and allow for a more inviting and warm classroom environment for children to learn, focus and engage.

Students and staff alike will benefit from this project being funded.
