My Students

My students are a great group of kids. They are 9th graders and many have autism and other developmental disabilities or special learning needs. They need more than a teacher who tells them what to do; they need an adult who will listen to them and work with them on their individual needs.

In the words of Temple Grandin, "Kids have to be exposed to different things to develop.

A child’s not going to find out he likes to play a musical instrument if you never exposed him to it."

My classroom assistant and I create a positive and interactive learning environment where our kids know that they are welcome, loved, appreciated, are safe, and can succeed.

My Project

After 17 months at home, our students are coming back into the building. This means that many will need some help with basic supplies.

The supplies in this project will help our students with basic supplies for a perfect start to a new school year.

Glue, index cards, pens, crayons, etc. will make a big difference for our families that sometimes do not send in supplies with their students. Thank you so much for considering a donation to our classroom. Our students and I greatly appreciate your generosity and kindness.
