My Students

I am a teacher of students with severe and multiple disabilities in an economically disadvantaged area. Remote learning has been difficult for my students and their families. They are typically hands-on learners who require a multi-sensory approach to learning.

My students thrive when provided hands-on materials that they can manipulate and explore.

I have sent all of my materials home to help support their learning while they are away from school. It is up to us, as teachers, to provide non-conventional ways to teach abstract concepts. Not being able to be in front of my students during this time only makes this harder. Parents are frustrated and their children are not fully engaged due to a lack of materials to help support them.

Currently, I am providing lessons remotely that are goal specific to each of my students. Throughout this time, they are using an adapted academic curriculum with individualized materials to customize activities. Every day we celebrate our student's accomplishments, no matter how small. There is nothing better than a smile and glance from a student to brighten any day!

My Project

COVID-19 has changed our world in so many different ways. When we left that day in March we never imagined that we wouldn't be returning for the school year. While, we are all hoping to return to our classrooms in September, it is unknown how learning will continue.

We need supplies to help support the hybrid learning style of being both in and out of the classroom.

We will no longer be able to go on trips and experience vocational opportunities within our community. I've developed some in-house vocational opportunities for my students.

The clear baskets and folders will be used to create individual work stations to meet the needs of our fellow classrooms. We will be creating our own individualized packets to be sent home during the weeks of remote instruction by using the hole punchers. The hardware organizer will store the small pieces we need for creating the kits. The ink will be required to print out materials that will go in the packets.
