Life skills/social skills: My goal is to help students build independence, confidence, and essential skills they can carry with them beyond the classroom. We focus on practical, real-world learning—everything from daily living and social skills to communication, vocational training, and community involvement. Every student brings something unique to our classroom, and I’m committed to creating a supportive, inclusive environment where all learners can grow and thrive. (SP 2 lifeskills is with Ms. Abadir)

Individual Programs: Instruction is tailored to meet each student’s individual IEP goals, ensuring that their unique strengths, needs, and progress are supported every step of the way. Students will work 1:1 with classroom staff.

Daily Meeting: This time is used to build communication, social interaction, and functional academic skills in a supportive group setting.

During Daily Meeting, we typically:

• Review the date, day of the week, and weather
  
  

• Discuss the daily schedule and any special events or changes
  
  

• Practice calendar skills, counting, and number recognition
  
  

• Participate in greetings and social turn-taking
  
  

• Sometimes include current events, song of the day and mindfulness activities
  
  

This routine promotes independence, reinforces key life skills, and encourages active participation. It also gives students a chance to practice using visuals, communication devices, or verbal language depending on their individual needs.

Office hours: Please contact me if you would like to meet/phone call. My office hours 2:15-3:00 and block 3 (11:45-12:50)
