My Students

Our classroom is a co-taught inclusion model with 19 students currently plus 2 additional students in other second grade classrooms who participate in direct instruction within our classroom to help meet their specific needs! Our students are AMAZING!! They are resilient little humans and determined learners! As a new general education teacher coming from special education and having a new special education teacher as my co-teacher there are several ideas that we have to improve our classroom for our students!

My Project

Our classroom is in desperate need of stable storage and strong student mailboxes! The crate system with hanging folders was not as successful as I hoped after one year, last year. This mailbox system is great because it can also store basic classroom cleaning supplies safely in the top cabinet! Especially going into next school year, furniture that can serve more than one purpose is important! I am hopeful that all our students will be back in the building next year with us and receive their mail from these mailboxes!
