My Students

My students come from a wide range of socioeconomic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. They have a wide mix of cognitive, emotional and social backgrounds. My students range in age from 3 years to 5 years old. Many of them have experienced lives filled with trauma and Special Needs challenges that I, at 46 years of age, have never been faced with, yet they show up day after day with loving smiles, hugs, and joyful spirits. They are curious about the world around them, and they are eager to learn everything they can. They are global learners who will inspire the world.

It is my honor and pleasure to serve my students by preparing lessons that will engage them, inspire their passion and desire for learning and develop their drive for lifelong learning.

My students' desire to learn is much stronger than the challenges that face them. It brings me great joy to see my students make progress on a daily basis. Experiences, opportunities and thoughtful planning help them to build and develop skills that are delayed and improve their cognition. Our student population is 26% Hispanic, 6% Multiracial, .1% Hawaiian / Pacific Islander, 34.4% White, 31.7% Black and .07% Asian.

My Project

As we are now in the full swing of school 20-21 year. We are working to support the emotional needs of our students. We are unable to take field trips or and have limited movement throughout our school building. The result is less interaction and engagement with peers and members of our community. Though the use of the webcam we can participate in Skype, Google Meets, and other virtual experiences that will help our students engage with peers around our school and places in our community. We are also providing safe spaces in our classroom where students can go to self regulate, calm, and find comfort when they are in distress. We strive to make our classroom the most comfortable and inviting space for emotional health of all students.
