My Project

My students range from ages 6-12 and come with a WIDE variety of skills and needs. Meeting each of them where they are and helping them become the best version of themselves is such a beautiful challenge.

Having resources at our fingertips is essential!

This includes books that they can read independently (when reading is a challenge, this is such a confidence boost!), books that help them see the impact of their choices, and cards that help us discuss being a positive impact on our world.

Sometimes resources from Teachers Pay Teachers are just what we need and the hooks help us keep everything organized and at hand.
