My Project

I am a teacher at T. C. B. M. S. I have been teaching for 9 years. This will be my 8th year at this school. I have taught a Reading Skills class for the last 3 years. My students are often students with special education services to address their decoding skills. These students have challenges with reading comprehension which my class offers a learning platform to address those challenges.

I had headphones over the years, but they have since taken legs and walked away or are broken beyond repair.

I am asking for you to help supply my classroom with headphones, so my scholars can access the reading online platform without any distractions. I also plan on still implementing my incentive program for the scholars to ensure they get excited about Reading!
