My Students

I have the wonderful pleasure of teaching kindergarten and 1st grade life skills. Many of my students are non-verbal and require picture supports and communication devices. Our goal is to give each and every student a voice. I have been teaching children with disabilities for 18 years and it has become my passion. I love the relationships I get to have with families and with my beautiful students. I have learned so much about myself and about what truly is important from my students and their families. I get to work with such an amazing team of teachers and support staff. In a world where it might be difficult to find people who truly love their job, I am so happy to say I chose a career that I love.

In our classroom we focus on building positive relationships and meaningful communication.

Our goal is to give students the skills they need to be included in classrooms with their typical peers. It is always so heartwarming to see children progress and spend more and more time in the general education classroom. All they want is to be included and to be treated equal. Isn't that what we all want.

My Project

Many of my students have increased anxiety due to the pandemic, distance learning, wearing masks, hearing talk of illness, etc. These items including alphabet & number circle time rug, musical marbles, super space sand, & the alpaca puppet will assist me in addressing these new social norms with lessons on personal space, how to wait for a turn, how to have a meaningful conversation, how to properly express your feelings, and so much more. The educational resources (sight word sentences, word building, prepositional words, and I'm in Control book set will be used for addressing students individualized goals for communication, language, and social skills. These are all skills they need in order to participate and progress in the general education classroom. Experiences including but not limited to parallel play, meaningful conversation exchanges, dramatic play, word play, and guided reading help to support and encourage communication. In our classroom we provide opportunities for building skills such as sharing, turn taking, making friends, teamwork, and asking for help.

Our goals are to provide each and every student with the skills they need to be as independent and functional as possible.

We believe that EVERY student can communicate appropriately and effectively when provided with the right tools.
