My Students
I am a proud teacher of diverse learners in NYC's ASD NEST program. My students are special in so many ways---where do I begin?
My students light up when they are learning about a topic that they really connect with and even more so when a project impacts their lives.
Located in the diverse neighborhood of the East Village in NYC, my classroom is a true melting pot of cultures and abilities. Some of my students are advanced thinkers and self-starters while others are learning to engage with schoolwork as well as their peers. Each student finds great joy and pride in learning new topics, but their methods and strategies can vary greatly.
As their teacher, my goal is to provide a learning environment where my students are engaged with inspiring projects and vibrant discussions.
My Project
My classroom library is a place that my students and I really enjoy---I read stories aloud to them, they pair up and share favorite stories, and we discuss stories regularly. Now more than ever in this COVID world, I want to celebrate books and the journeys they take us on!
A mantra in my room is "When in doubt, take a book out!" I am working to keep our library up to date, enticing, engaging.
These new read aloud books will bring a new life to our learning time across all subject areas, as well as enhance students independent reading time.
The best way that I have found to to increase students reading ability and engagement is to read often with lots lots of passion. These books will no doubt bring excitement and fun to our reading time!
