My Students

The students in my school community have been diagnosed with autism, intellectual disabilities, and other developmental disabilities.

They have the biggest and most bubbly personalities and love learning in creative ways.

I want my students to have every experience as their peers. Every skill gained by my students will change their lives and I want them to enjoy learning.

My Project

As a teacher, it is important for me to recognize the best way to reach my students maximizing how they process and retain information.

My classroom identifies different types of learners and I want to make a fun learning experience for all.

We would like to get a laminator, laminating sheets, binder rings and velcro so we can make interactive books with visuals for our students. We would like to get art materials to work with students on making simple and fun projects.

Obtaining these materials will help us to engage our students in a fun and creative manner. We will also be able to provide them with materials that they are able to take home with them.
