My Project

Students in the class all have Autism. Each student learns differently and has different needs. I would like to provide the students with games and materials to help access their learning style. These materials will be used to develop new skills and build on skills that they may have.

The learning games will build on social emotional learning, communication and academics.

Students will learn turn taking, reading, using descriptive language and math skills. The art supplies with be used daily to develop fine motor activities and artwork. The students will enjoy all these new materials throughout the school year.
