In our self-contained special ED setting, we all learn best in different ways. Some of us learn best by listening, some by moving and manipulating objects and some by seeing ideas play out. We all learn best when we have options. With these materials I will allow students various ways to access content so that we all can learn. The kinetic sand and light table will provide a tactile experience while listening materials will allow students to use their auditory processing to engage with new information. Flexible seating options will help them to be successful when we’re all together. Other materials will allow students to visualize transitions to stay with the group.
