My new ESE PreK class (iPEEPS) is located in one of Hillsborough County's Achievement schools. 100% of my students receive free or reduced price lunch. Children are placed into my class for a variety of reasons. My class size, the age of my students, and the disabilities my students have varies every year. My class currently has 9 students (and grows throughout the year with short notice). My students have disabilities ranging from Autism, Down Syndrome, visual impairments, and other developmental, social/emotional and language/communication delays. Their personalities and needs are so different. With the age and learning gap, it’s important to have differentiated instruction, engaging activates and to provide one on one or very small group instructions to teach based on each students needs.
My main goals are to teach them how to love school.
We also aim to improve their communication skills, independent functioning skills and most importantly social/emotional skills. I want my students to learn how to be loving, kind and independent members of society. I don’t want to create excuses for them; I want to give them (and the people they interact with) the tools and skills they need to be successful.
My Project
I need help providing the materials needed for our end of the year graduation for my students and their families. My students and their families are very dedicated and deserve a spectacular graduation to celebrate the wonderful accomplishments and gains their students have made in their ESE Pre-K classroom. Moving on to Kindergarten needs to be celebrated! I want my parents to feel welcomed and proud. Parents play a huge part in their child's learning. I want the opportunity to show them how much they matter. With these items I can show my families and students that their hard work did not go unnoticed and motivate them to keep up the great work as their child continues learning and graduates from high school, even college!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
