My Students

This is a general education classroom with students who can also potentially be on an Individualized Educational Plan. I have 3 currently on those plans, however, that can change at any time. My class loves to read and explore!

Our school always needs support and these kids totally deserve every bit of it!

My Project

My students love this fun biography series! Each book teaches about one great role model, and encourages students to dream big! Currently, we have just a few of the books in our classroom library. We would love to learn about many more heroes! The books are dynamic and informative, with great photos as well as comic-book style illustrations. There are timelines of important events, including influential childhood moments. Facts for great conversation-starters are shared, and heroic character traits that will motivate young readers' hopes and ambitions.

Thank you for helping encourage students' success, with these wonderful books and writing materials!

Adaptive paper and pencil grips work together to improve handwriting, by helping with finger positioning, giving more control, reducing fatigue, and increasing comfort. Some students just like having the fun, colorful pencil grips, and are not even aware they are using a special tool. The paper with raised lines guides students with visual and tactile cues for letter positioning and letter size consistency. It is very important to help students develop good writing habits while they are young, and these adaptive materials have shown remarkable results. I am grateful to DonorsChoose for supporting my students' educational needs with materials to help them be successful!
