Hi - I'm Ms. Colonna - I teach 5th graders with Autism at Ivy Hill Elementary School in Newark Public Schools in NJ. Ivy is in an urban district where most children get free lunch and all children get free breakfast. I feel very blessed to be working each day with these special children. These children have autism and each day is a struggle for them. The kids in my class learn very differently than neurotypical children. They do well with hands on and technology.
