My Students

My class consist of 11 wonderful students ages 3-4, each student is unique and full of life. My students have special needs consisting of Down Syndrome, Autism or Developmentally Delayed but the one thing they have in common is they all love to learn.

Little hands, inquiring minds, active feet and big hearts, this describes my class perfectly.

My students love to interact with technology, listen and dance to music, read books and play. They learn the best when using their eyes,ears and hands to participate in activities.

Since my class is usually the first school experience these students have, I try to make it the best! It is important to make my students preschool experience wonderful so they have a love of learning and a positive interaction with school.

My Project

My students love to engage in art projects throughout the year. The materials in this project will help students create one of a kind artwork. Students will use adapted scissors to work on their fine motor cutting skills, including cutting the construction paper into shapes.

My students' little hands and some times feet will use the paint to create masterpieces.

Adapted paintbrushes will be used with my students who have difficulty grasping objects, to ensure they can participate in our projects. Glitter will be used for special art to add sparkle. My students' creativity will shine as they have fun with art.
