My Students

My students have unique learning needs and learn and process new information in many different ways. My students range from 3-5 years old. They have delays in 2 or more areas (cognition, motor, communication, social/emotional, and or functional/adaptive) of their development, however, this does not define who they are or limit their learning capacity. My students are loving, caring, and eager to learn and try new things. I am blessed to be their teacher and couldn’t ask for a better group of learners.

My job, as their early childhood special education teacher, is to provide them with hands on learning experiences to help them reach their potential, to keep them engaged, and to be excited about learning and trying new things.

My Project

My early childhood special education classroom just moved to a new building! We are so fortunate to have a small space to use as a motor room to work on gross motor goals and objectives. In order for my students to feel confident in building their skills, they need softer flooring, developmentally appropriate equipment, sensory tools and an atmosphere that is calming.

The donations for this project will help to create an environment in which my early childhood special education students can easily, safely and confidently strengthen their gross motor skills.

The floor tiles will give a softer material for jumping and climbing. The ball pit balls and the trampolines will give my students an opportunity for a sensory break throughout the day and the light shades will provide a relaxing atmosphere.
