My Project

I am a teacher of students with autism who are amazing! My students are 4-5 years old, making this school year, their first in this type of setting. The students have unique needs and struggle daily with significant communication and learning needs. They work every day on their life skills, daily living skills, and communication. A few of the students in my classroom are English language learners and come from low-income households. My students enjoy hands-on learning, interactive activities, and sensory play. Most of my students receive an alternative curriculum, based on the general education curriculum, to accommodate their educational needs. Our class has unique needs, and we often require a lot of visuals. I believe providing my students with a variety of materials and opportunities that support their various abilities and learning styles will enable them to generalize skills, engage socially, and continue to blossom as learners.

My students will be able to use their imaginations and create new books that are filled with visuals that are meaningful to them.

They will be able to use the laminating sheets, ink for the classroom printer and the book binder to create books that they can read over and over again. You will help foster the pride that they created each and every book. By donating supplies like ink, laminating sheets, and the book binder, you will provide my students with the opportunity to explore their artistic abilities in a hands-on, meaningful way. My students love to create! These books will enhance our independent and whole group ELA lessons. All these materials will help them also learn their colors, take turns and enjoy art in a fun way. Thank you!
