My Students
My school has been serving PreK-6 students, both military dependents and local residents, since 1956 as part of the Hawaii State Department of Education. The school has a significantly diverse range of students that includes both local and military families from all over the world!
I am a special education preschool teacher that focuses on early intervention needs such as speech, language, and behavior.
I aim to provide a multi-sensory experience in developing the whole child.
My students range in abilities and ages (3-5), which makes my classroom a fun and exciting place to be!
My Project
Students in my classroom experience an array of multiple learning opportunities. However, our classroom bookshelf is outdated and we need new life! We will use each book requested in a variety of ways that will help enrich the lives of our keiki (children).
As a low income school ourselves, I can relate to an article titled, "Bringing Books to Life" by Jamie Chamberlin that stated, "Numerous studies over the last decade show that reading strategies are vital for boosting low-income children's vocabularies, language development, sound awareness and letter recognition abilities—all building blocks for early literacy.
"
These resources will provide endless learning opportunities for my students for years to come!
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
