My Project

I am entering my 1st official year of teaching in CPS Schools as a Special Education Teacher for math, grades 3rd through 5th. That's right, I will be working with three different grades!

I want to ensure my students have the tools and resources they need to be active participants in their own learning; participating in a fun, immersive classroom that helps them grow academically, emotionally and socially.

Please help me make our classroom a fully supported community with these simple, but important resources/tools, like paper, calculators, glue, composition notebooks, and pencils, that will help my students succeed inside and outside of the classroom!

Access to these items will allow me to facilitate learning that helps our inner-city students feel safe, protected, motivated and inspired to explore endless possibilities and opportunities for success!
