My Project

My classroom is so unique and diverse. While we are a high school class, our special needs classroom differs from what most people would expect to see at a high school level. We're not doing Algebra or learning about government, chemistry, or any of those things. What we teach is what most would consider basic knowledge. For our kiddos, that knowledge is life skills. We teach things like how to assist with laundry or how to wash our hands after using the bathroom, sneezing, or those things. We're learning to brush our teeth, how to sort shapes, to differentiate colors, and our letters and numbers. We are also learning how to fist bump with friends and how to behave in public in general.

A one size fits all approach does not fit all in public school, and sometimes our most vulnerable students get forgot or left behind.

The items on this list will empower our students to learn some of these valuable life lessons that most people take for granted.

Play money will teach them how to sort and count. Puzzles and shape sorters help promote logical thinking and problem solving abilities. Toothbrushes and a hand washing timer will encourage person hygiene. An easy-to-clean beanbag chair and spinning seat are for optional seating and making choices.

Just because our class looks and learns differently, doesn't mean our purpose is any less important. Help make our students' learning experience the best possible! Here we don't live in the word disability, only in ability, and each of our kid's has their own unique abilities that we hope to nourish along the way!
