  • New Year, New Materials!

    Funded Sep 17, 2022

    Thank you for your generous support and donations in order to get materials to support my classroom. As teachers it is our job to provide innovation to our teaching as we meet the needs of each and every student that comes into our classroom. With the generous donations you've contributed I've been able to create numerous individualized visuals and supports to help meet each student at a personal level with customizable features. These materials can continue to be adjusted as needed and will be useful for years to come.

    Thank you again for your generosity”

  • Conquering The Day With Yoga

    Funded May 23, 2022

    Thank you kindly for the contribution of yoga mats, storage and yoga books to my classroom. We have noticed such an increase in the students energy and overall mood since beginning our yoga program. By incorporating 15 minutes of yoga a day into our classroom routine we've noticed a decrease in negative behaviors as well.

    With safety at the forefront during these activities, we have allowed each student to have their own space and assigned mat to prevent injuries and increase comfort.

    Thank you for contributing to our classroom”

    It is through your kindness that I am able to provide these materials to my students this year. The teacher toolbox has been beneficial in allowing me to access materials quickly while the custom supply caddies have allowed each student to use their own school supplies safety without fear of sharing germs. Students are so proud to take ownership of these boxes and use them with pride.

  • Supply & Demand

    Funded Mar 7, 2020

    Coronavirus has certainly changed the outcome of school as we know it. The resources we were supposed to receive, are on hold given the current state of the world. Some of the resources we did receive and used briefly before the closing of schools back in March.

    My students are some of the most fragile and these materials were sent home with them in hopes to provide a multisensory approach during remote learning. We are hopeful that with your continued to support i can provide more materials to the homes of my students.

    Wishing you all well, stay safe !”

The use of individualized visual schedules supports routines and transitions within the classroom. Students have an expectation of the day's activities and use the schedule to finish one activity before transitioning to another. Schedules are differentiated with the use of objects, photos or symbols to represent all classroom activities. Since our students are non-ambulatory, we require a large amount of velcro to display schedules and remove them to provide the students with access. In addition, using velcro empowers the students to be the managers of their own schedules by allowing the child to change the symbols without help. This increases independence and also leads to an increase in the student's confidence. Visual schedules increases students' independence and their schedules allow them to complete their daily tasks without surprises which decreases challenging behavior. The students have time to know what activity is coming next and even if they are not happy, they will transition easier. This helps the classroom run smoother and helps promote learning at all times.
