My Project

I have an amazing class of K-2 students with Autism who benefit from hands-on learning. My center based classroom has areas for puzzles, building, arts and crafts, reading and listening, sensory play, and small group games.

The games I have added will help my students practice turn taking as well as math and phonic skills in my small group area.

The sensory toys will help with sensory needs as well as my calm down corner. The magnetic tiles and blocks will be a fun and engaging activity for my students to use in my building center.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my project!

Ms. Alaina P233Q @335 Grades PreK-2
