My Students

My students are 6th, 7th and 8th graders with a range of intellectual disabilities who need support in functional academic skills, life skills and social skills in a self-contained classroom. We are working on maximizing every student's strengths, skills and potential to live their best life both at school and in adulthood.

My Project

Social skills and following directions via art projects and a class party are important skills for my students, especially during remote learning.

Help my students continue to navigate a new world of social skills and engaging activities when they complete craft projects during our remote learning holiday party.

They will practice taking turns, following directions, looking at a model and asking questions. The students will practice speaking and listening skills when they engage in the same hands-on projects that they will able to display and talk about they are making or have made.
