My Students

I have the pleasure of working with 9th grade students in a self contained special education classroom. My students are in this classroom setting because they have strong needs regarding emotional regulation and academics. My students are learning to count money, tell time, and most read at a 2nd grade level.

I am passionate about teaching life skills to my students so that they can one day live independently and have a job.

My students learn life skills embedded in their daily classwork. They earn money and divide it between their class checking and savings accounts, they clock in and clock out daily at school, and we practice cooking, cleaning, and job skills.

Thank you so much for being willing to help my students get the tools to be successful!

My Project

My students have a variety of learning needs, some can read, some cannot, most have auditory processing disorders. Having a projector in my classroom would help my students access more content and get more digital experiences.

My students want to explore new places and new careers and especially due to the pandemic, we need technology to do so.

My students will use this projector to enrich their learning every day. Thank you so much for considering helping my class have more digital experiences by getting us a projector to use!
