My Students

I provide special education instructional support for students with a range of learning disabilities. These students have diverse abilities in reading, math, and writing. They are enthusiastic about learning. They love exploring and sharing their ideas.

This year's mantra is "The Room Where It Happens." The student love coming to the classroom.

They are ready to make learning happen.

My Project

"Ms. Hill, I'm having a hard time, today." This statement, I hear often from my students. A "hard time" for these students include difficulty transitioning to a new activity to realizing their own limits.

With help from Utah State Board of Education, students in my classroom will have a place to take a break and prepare.

They will have a place store manipulative and actively engage in their learning. The students in my classroom benefit from taking a moment to regroup, restore. They will shine being actively engaged in learing.
