My Students

My students are very special to me because of their different personalities they bring a different energy to the class.

I am always excited to meet them through Zoom because they always post interesting questions that can contribute to other students' learning.

My Project

This project will focus on the self-discovery of our students. I want to support their Social-Emotional Learning. Since the pandemic, students with exceptional disabilities were affected the most. This school year, I am gearing up on restoring skills that they have lost during the pandemic. I am hoping that my students will regain their socialization skills and self-regulation skills that will help them have a positive learning experience this year.

With this project, their photos will be used to depict their presence and importance in the classroom, the bean bags will add to the positive vibe of the classroom that can make my students feel that they have a safe place to recenter themselves in times of behavior challenges or utilize the area for a free-choice time.
