My Students

I teach a combination class of 5th and 6th grade special needs students at a small, Title I public school in Sacramento, California. My students are resilient beyond measure and inspire me every day! Not only do my students overcome the everyday obstacle of their disabilities, but they continue to thrive through the stress and uncertainty of the COVID-19 Pandemic. They show up every morning, full of curiosity and eager to learn and explore the world!

My students love hands-on, kinesthetic, and interactive lessons that engage them and emphasize their strengths rather than highlight their challenges.

My students are kind, creative, supportive, and most importantly they all share a growth mindset! They want to learn, and will continue trying even when something is difficult. I am humbled and honored to be able to teach such an amazing group of students.

My Project

At the beginning of the new year, I had my students spend time setting learning goals for themselves. One common goal between my students stood out above all the rest: "I want to improve my reading." My class loves books and can't wait to go to the Library each week to pick out a new and exciting story. However, given their disabilities and time spent doing Distance Learning, reading is a continuing challenge for my students.

This project will allow me to incorporate more engaging reading curriculum into our daily classroom routine, and help my students reach their learning goals!

Curriculum in my classroom is taught in small, leveled groups. This gives students an opportunity to accelerate at their own pace without pressure from peers, and allows me to provide them extra support as needed. These resources will be a fantastic way to teach students reading and writing at their individual level. Help me improve my student's academic achievement by using resources that meets their unique learning needs!
