My Students

I have the opportunity to service a variety of different students from kindergarten through sixth grade. Many of my students struggle with listening comprehension and understanding key details in a passage. I am also lucky enough to work with life skills students who I have been teaching skills such as turn taking and recognizing emotions in themselves and others. Covid has impacted this as students have been home more often and away from a structured learning environment and their peers where these skills are learned best.

My students are all unique in their strengths and personalities allowing for a fun learning opportunity for all.

My Project

The majority of what I have requested is books. Books are a great teaching resources as they help expand on vocabulary and teach social skills that help students succeed. I am also requesting a laminator so that I can create sturdy lessons that will help reinforce what is taught in the books. I am also getting games as they teach vital social skills such as turn taking, communication, and how to win or lose gracefully. As we build upon these skills we are also helping students gain emotion connections with others as well as how to manage their own emotions.
