My Students

My students are amazing!! They are special students with special needs. Students have been identified with Autism as well as Specific Learning Disabilities. My students are intelligent and eager to learn. They can be silly and playful. They love to sing and dance. They love to learn new things and show what they already know as well. They smile and giggle and have their own language between friends. But most importantly, they love school and I want to make sure that continues!

The things that I can teach and use to make learning fun and meaningful will help my students grow as important, productive members of our school community and society.

Learning for my students must be hands-on. Learning for them must be interesting. Learning for them must be active. Being active participants in their own learning is most important and most beneficial to the development of their minds and bodies. Materials that help us to keep our learning organized is also important. Things that allow for family participation is important as well.

I need your help to make learning the best experience it can be for my students!

My Project

The hands-on math manipulatives will help students be able to learn math by more than just staring at a screen during Zoom lessons while on distance learning. Students with special needs thrive on being able to use multiple senses during a learning experience, especially tactile and kinesthetic. Therefore, being able to touch and move items such as counters, fraction pieces, blocks, etc., while learning will increase their ability to retain the information I present. Not to mention, using manipulatives always makes learning more fun and engaging. These materials will be vital to their progress since as I am showing my students how to figure problems over Zoom, they will be able to use their individual sets of manipulatives at home, right along with me!!
