My Students

I am a teacher of students with Autism who are amazing! My students are 7-8 years old. The students have unique needs and struggle daily with significant communication and learning needs. They work every day on their life skills, daily living skills, and communication. A few of the students in my classroom are English language learners and come from low-income households. My students enjoy hands-on learning, interactive activities, and sensory play. Most of my students receive an alternative curriculum to accommodate their educational needs. Our class has unique needs, and we often require a lot of visuals. I believe providing my students with a variety of materials and opportunities that support their various abilities and learning styles will enable them to generalize skills, engage socially, and continue to blossom as learners.

My Project

While working in a classroom with students who have autism, I am aware that all of my students are learning at different levels and use different learning methods. We are in a lower socioeconomic NYC area and my students do not always or cannot always provide the supplies they need. These materials will help my students stay busy and keep them both physically and mentally active. The crayons, pencils, markers and scissors, and other school supplies I have listed would help greatly. They are all active students and want to complete work as they are assigned. These materials will allow my students to continue their learning from home. I want to provide my students with the consistency they need. In order to do this, I need to help them with the basic materials that we use at school. Let my Students to reach for the Stars!
