Learning By Creating

My students need a opportunity to express themselves, the use of an erector set will allow my students a chance to create something independently or with little support and the camera will give immediate gratification.

My Students

I am a first year teacher who sees amazing things in my students, but these students lack an outlet to show how amazing they can be. With these items I can truly document my students creativity.

My students are six autistic boys who have difficulties expressing themselves.

These items would be used as a outlet and reward in the classroom. The camera holds great importance, it would allow me to capture their work. This allows the students a chance to share their work with their families.

My Project

My class and I would greatly appreciate the chance to build and create in our classroom. My students need a opportunity to express themselves. The use of an erector set will allow my students a chance to create something independently or with little support. These items would be a great addition to our classroom and these students lives. The use of the camera in the classroom allows for immediate gratification for these students. they can immediately share what they made.

These items would be an asset to my students and their classroom.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated. My students would enjoy and benefit from these items. Thank you in advance from my class.
