My Project

Special education classrooms require specialized materials. I am requesting a small whiteboard to put on the wall in one of our small group centers. A small whiteboard can be used to practice so many things! Especially for our friends who use a wheelchair or have limited mobility, a magnetic whiteboard at their level can open so many opportunities.

An Apple TV is something that I firmly believe all classrooms should have.

Using an Apple TV will allow us more freedom to project our digital lessons and curriculum, project AAC to model on a large scale, and easily project instructional videos. Right now we are limited and have to remain connected to a wall, an Apple TV will allow me to be more engaged with the children because I can project from anywhere.

Lastly, a spiral binder. As mentioned, students with special needs require specialized materials. I will be using the spiral binder to create adapted books (tactile books, high visibility/contrast books, and more. Primarily, I am excited to use it to create more meaningful and differentiated communication books for my students.
