My Students

My students all have moderate to severe intellectual disabilities. Their future isn't career or college-based. Their future is life skills and independent living skills-based. We work daily on academics, career skills, and independent living/life skills. The most important topic is their independence and ability to care for themselves. They do not know how to clean, cook, handle hygiene, wash clothing, etc. These are all skills that many of us take for granted. These essential life skills are a focal point for my students. They need to learn how to complete simple things like changing their clothing after an accident, washing their clothing, making their own drinks, making a simple food item or meal, basic communication skills, and self-care things like brushing teeth and flossing.

My Project

The basic classroom supplies in this project will financially help my students and their families during this ongoing pandemic. Many of my families struggle to provide basic classroom supplies for their children to attend school. I want to alleviate some of this burden and supply some basic classroom supplies for the students to use.

The dry erase markers, crayons, pens, colored pencils, markers, paper, and Kleenex tissues will be a fantastic asset to our class!

My students will use the dry erase markers on their dry erase boards during math activities. We will use colored pencils, crayons, pens, and markers during various lessons, including our water cycle unit when we draw and label the water cycle! We will use the card stock paper to create things for individual students, like visual schedules and visual supports/labels for items in the room to help them navigate the school day and our classroom. The Kleenex tissues will be fantastic to have on hand during the pandemic and the cold/flu season. My students go through a ton of tissues, and it will be nice to have some on hand for them to use as needed!
