I have a background in Special Education and it is important for me to be able to communicate with them. Currently, I use technology in the classroom by using Hatch Computers and IPads.

Hello everyone, my name is Kioka Tuck and I was born in Montgomery, Alabama and raised in Rockford, Alabama (Coosa County). I am a Prek Teacher at Coosa Central Elementary for the TCRC Moving4ward Program. I am currently going to school to be a Reading Specialist (Masters). I enjoy reading books, art and crafts, music, and movies. I also have a blog where I talk about diverse children books, diverse art, and culture, it is called Miss T's Book Room.

Some students have a hard time expressing themselves with words, writing or verbally. When they are assigned activities like this, it helps teachers to understand them on another level.
