My Students

I support middle school students in all subject areas. The students I work with deal with delays in reading, writing, math, organizational skills, and life skills. They are a very diverse group yet they are all hard-working, fun-loving, and compassionate individuals. I love watching them find their voices and develop the courage to self advocate.

When you talk about perseverance, you are talking about my students.

They put in quite a bit of energy to try and keep pace with peers who might not experience the obstacles they have. Each of my students have dreams and aspirations for life after school. One student wants to be in the Marine Corps while another wants to play in the NFL. I have a student who wants to work with computers, another student wants to be an artist. I feel lucky to be able to help them work toward whatever goals they have in life.

My school practices inclusion as much as it benefits the students. Students get the best of both worlds in that they are alongside their peers for general instruction and then can work in small group or individual settings to help cement that instruction as needed.

My Project

These books will help strengthen my classroom library. Students who are already reluctant to read need to have a variety of books to choose from to find something they enjoy. I believe it is so important to encourage reading for joy, not just for school. Most of my students are very interested in history and I am hoping these books will hold their interest. I have one student who loves trains and wants to learn everything about them. These books will give them choices in what they read.

Most people think of sports when they hear practice, but practicing reading is just as important.

The more my students read they better they will get at it and the easier it will happen for them. Plus they will learn that reading can be fun. Please help me expand their library.
