My Project

I am a fifth-year teacher, who works in an integrated preschool program, which serves students ages three through five. We work with students who require specially designed services, as well as typically developing peers. We provide our students with hands-on learning experiences that are specially designed to meet their needs. Our vision is to, "create a partnership with families, districts, and communities that creates a lifetime of learning through meaningful play experiences, creative thinking, and problem-solving opportunities to build a foundation essential to the unique development of each and every child." Within our program, we provide the following support services that help the unique and individual needs of every child: speech and language, occupational therapy, physical therapy, social/emotional support, vision and hearing, etc. We also support many families that come from an economic disadvantage. We do this by providing our students with as many hands-on, fun-filled learning activities as possible.

My students are ready to learn and are full of energy.

They deserve the absolute best, and I will always work towards providing them nothing less. By supporting this project, you will help me in providing my students with the tools necessary to support their sensory needs in the classroom! The Weighted Compression Vest will be used to provide my students with the sensory input necessary to help them focus on their learning of critical social emotional skills, critical thinking abilities, and the foundational skills necessary for school readiness!
