My Students

My students are part of a special education self-contained severe unit classroom. This year I have ten students in my classroom, and they range from Kindergarten through 4th grade. I am in my fifth year of teaching.

I chose to become a special education teacher because of the special students that I serve.

Each of them has a unique personality, and their disabilities can include autism, Down syndrome, and intellectual and developmental delays. I have them in my classroom K-4, so I get to know them extremely well and get to know and love their families.

The school I teach at is Title I with more than half of the students from low-income families.

My Project

Sensory support comes in different forms for my students with disabilities. This project will allow them to explore and see movement with gel tiles and water games.

By donating to this project, you will be providing opportunities for building motor skills and promoting sensory development.

Gel tiles and water toys allow children to explore their world through their senses. Sensory play can help calm, focus, and engage a child. It can encourage visual stimulation, tactile stimulation, and enhance gross motor skills. It engages them with calming and relaxing activities.
