Thank you for taking the time to learn about my students and me. I became a Special Education Teacher because of a boy, who has autism, that I tutored. He opened my eyes 16 years ago into a world that I have fallen in love with. Actually before him, I didn't even know there were classes called "special ed." Because of this young boy, I am here now, 14 years strong, teaching these exceptional students to become life-long learners and to persevere through their hardships.
Teaching isn't an easy job; however, the smiles, the laughs, the light bulb moments are all positive signs that I am reaching each one of my leaders.
My classroom is full of eager leaders. They come to school to learn, play, and create. My leaders' needs vary in severity and area. They may have behavioral needs, academic needs, and/or social needs - each as unique as the individual learner. However, their ambitions and desires are no different than their typical peers. We are different but not less. Please join me in supporting our future leaders!
My Project
My leaders have a love-hate relationship with technology. They frequently ask to use the Chromebooks but then get easily frustrated when things don't go their way.
With your help, we can make technology a love-love relationship for my leaders.
Flocabulary is also an online subscription that teaches vocabulary as well as other content area skills using hip hop, dance and song! This would be a great resource for my students to learn and relearn what was taught. The lessons are short and very catchy. Students are able to sing along with the videos as is it captioned with the lyrics. The toner will be used to print out lessons or student reports related to the subscriptions or any other classwork. With these resources, completing assignments and working on our Chromebooks will become a cinch! Please join me in creating a love-love relationship with technology where all my leaders can thrive!
