My Project

I teach four- to eight-year-old students with ranging disabilities from autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and emotional and behavioral difficulties. They love to touch, play, paint, create, invent, and experiment. They have varied imaginations—creative ones! They are my precious little ones. Some of them have been with me for a couple of years now before transitioning to another teacher or grade level. Thus, I consider these students as my own.

"We are all DIFFERENT and that's BEAUTIFUL" by Karen Salmansohn

A new school year has started. Students will meet new friends, new teachers, and new experiences. As part of something new, I would like to offer new and modernized equipment to my students. As our students continue to work on daily classroom activities to sharpen their minds for this school year, let us give them the opportunity to do it better and well. To do that, they will need these items to help them.

The requested iPads and case will help my students learn portability, convenience, and technology ready for the next school year.
