My Project

I have a wonderful group of students from grades nine to twelve. I look forward every day to a rewarding experience with my two classes. Each class has approximately 18 students. My students are smart and full of life. Though challenged with disabilities that include autism, learning disability, Other Health Improvement, ADD/ADHD, and emotional disturbance, they strive for excellence. I have had some of the students for over a year and I have watched them improve their skills- in speaking, writing, reading, and comprehension.

Please help my students grow and glow.

Supplies are usually a need for my students to function well. From pencils to notebooks sharpeners, journals, and curriculum with differentiated and multi-sensory options, are needed. (I really wish to have a new set of Baileys meta-textual markers that none of the vendors sell.) Thanks for all you do to prepare the next generation.
