My Students

Helen Keller wrote, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart”. I teach Pre-K - 22-year-old young adults with visual impairments who have a special place in my heart. Our school is a place where students with visual impairments receive specialized services while also receiving an educational experience with high expectations and unique opportunities.

My student see the world in a different way; it is my job as their teacher to provide a rich learning environment to foster exploration and personal growth.

My Project

Our students enjoy spending time outside and learning is always evident when play is in motion. These items will add to our outdoor playground and our students will learn while playing with classmates.

Do not forget the importance of learning from playtime.

Sometimes we think the students are just playing but really they are learning so many life lessons. This time is so important and providing opportunities to play is just as important as a well-planned lesson that happens in the classroom.

These items will help foster an outdoor learning environment.
