My Students

My students come from diverse backgrounds with their own unique individual needs. I teach in a Title I School in the northeast part of Nebraska. The Title I program is federally funded, it aims to support children in meeting the state's academic standards. Title I programming supplements regular education, providing services for identified students needing assistance to meet grade level expectations.

My students achievement ranges from at grade level and above grade level to significantly below grade level.

These students have a wide range of disabilities which impacts their learning daily. These materials would provide a supplement to traditional materials and methods of teaching social skills.

My students will benefit from accessing quality resources in our classroom. Many of my students do not have access to resources at home. Your donations will help give students access to materials that will bridge the gap. Thank you for your consideration.

My Project

Social skills can help students set goals for themselves and build positive relationships with peers. They can also lead to long-term societal benefits that extend far beyond the individual.

These books will be used to enhance the way students learn social skills in a non threatening way.

Whether it is sharing, making and keep friends, cooperating, listening, being respectful, following directions, respecting personal space, or using manners.

Every book will be placed in our classroom library. Each book will be in the hands of children. These books will touch the lives of many children. Teaching children social skills plays an important role in a child’s health and well-being.
