My Students

This year, I have the opportunity of co-teaching 17 enthusiastic students in a 2nd grade classroom affiliated with the ASD Nest Program. The ASD Nest Program is a partnership between the NYCDOE and New York University’s ASD Nest Support Project. This program serves students with ASD and typically developing students in a reduced class-size Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) model.

My students are eager to learn new things and do their very best as long as they are given the opportunity to do so.

Over the past few months, we have become a family that is always encouraged to praise each other's accomplishments and support each other in times of need.

My Project

In hopes of making my library a place where all of my students can enjoy fictional books on their independent reading level, I am requesting various series books that will ignite their love for learning, calm their fears, answer their questions, and improve their lives in any of the multiple ways that only literature can.

Classroom libraries play a key role in providing access to books and promoting literacy; they have the potential to increase student motivation, engagement, and achievement and help students become critical thinkers, analytical readers, and informed citizens.

With your support, I can offer my students a wide variety of books with diverse and engaging characters that not only spark their love of reading but increase their reading achievement as well.
