My Students

I work with special education students that range from having Autism, hearing impairments, visual impairments, Dyslexia, emotional disturbance, and speech. These students all come from different cultural backgrounds and ability within the classroom. All of my students range from a pre-K level to 5th grade. My favorite thing about my students is the diversity and ability they bring to the classrooms.

My Project

These manipulatives and supplies will help the student both in the inclusion classroom and in my personal small groups. This will provide the students with the ability to complete assignments in different formats, also known as products. This will also create a more positive learning environment for my students and encourage them to learn. This will also provide more hands on materials for my students that will keep them engaged in the classroom and will help me differentiate the students lessons. Overall, these will bring more fun and learning to the classroom.

The laminator will be used for creating individualized white boards that the kids can use over and over again through out our SPED department for COVID reasons.

These white boards will be used JUST INCASE we go online and my students do not have the proper learning materials and manipulatives at home. The laminator will also be made to make a “take home” baggy of counters that I will cut up and laminate, so my students will have counters at home. The machine will also be used to finalize art work, assignments, and projects to put in a portfolio. The book bins are for each of my students to put their own work folder, supplies, and miscellaneous items in my room that will only stay in my room. The white boards are to practice handwriting, write out math problems, and use to write out sentences. These white board will stay with the students through out the day to have in their inclusion classroom. All of these materials will help with their IEP goals and learning outcomes.
