My Students

I am an Elementary Special Education Teacher. I service students with a wide range of abilities. My students range from Kindergarten to 3rd grade. They are very curious and adventurous learners! They all strive hard every day to meet the goals and expectations of their classroom. My kids are my extra special loves! They benefit from your compassion and support!! It's so exciting to get new learning materials and see my kids' faces light up!!!

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy - I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.

The easel will enrich our Circle Time, Morning Meetings, and Phonics Instruction.

My students will have easy access to their learning materials and supplies. They will be able to interact with the books on the easel, paint, draw, and express themselves on a daily basis. Thank You for your consideration of a donation! We appreciate it!!
