Our math and reading intervention classroom serves students who require additional support to meet grade-level standards.

Creating a Calming and Engaging Sensory Room for Children
Children often face challenges with sensory processing and needs which can manifest a hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to stimuli such as light ,sound, touch or movement. These difficulties can impact their ability to engage effectively in educational and social settings. A sensory room offers a controlled environment designed to reduce stress, stimulate or calm sensory input, and promote self-regulation, which is crucial for learning and emotional well-being.

Spanish Class Storytime
In my class during each unit, I hold storytime for my students. Currently, they sit on the “magic carpet.” My carpet is magic because it is invisible 🙂 That is what I tell my students! Even though the students are in 7th and 8th grade, they really do enjoy storytime because it creates a sense of community within the classroom. It also is something that they have not done since they were little, so it is a big nostalgic for them.
