My Students

My students have autism. They learn very differently from any other children. They are highly visual and kinesthetic learners. They love to move and explore around the classroom. Learning for them has to be fun and engaging. Using textured materials, realia and manipulatives help them enjoy learning reading, writing as well as math.

My students love to read, write and count.

Their disability does not hinder them from learning inside the classroom. Everyday is a learning experience for all of us

My Project

My students need activities and manipulatives that focus on the alphabet, letter recognition, and writing. Children with autism are visual and hands on learners. The materials will be used during circle time, whole group and small instruction for Language Arts, Math and Writing.

The materials requested will be used by the students to explore our alternative curriculum through building, drawing, counting, making letters and sounds, words and building sentences.

The magnetic number fishing set and the math workbooks will be used in learning and strengthening math concepts during our small group instructions. The tweezers tongs, Lakeshore dough assortment and the Jumbo pegs and pegboards will all be used to develop fine-motor skills. The listen and read sing along as well as Early concept sing along flip charts will be used during circle time to learn songs while memorizing some basic concepts such as alphabet, numbers and colors.

This project will help my students engage in the lessons more. It will help them experience letters and numbers through their visual and tactile senses. It will be a great opportunity for us to have fun while learning. I will also be teaching proper rewards and behavior for classroom which will eventually be useful for them socially.
