My Project

I am a high school special education teacher and am lucky to teach the most amazing students! I teach students with Autism, MIID, and MOID.

The materials I selected will help tremendously in my classroom- especially when it comes to students' social emotional needs and sensory needs.

I teach science and have found that my students show a great interest in STEAM projects. Many of my students require continuous practice working and communicating with others- so I love tasks and projects that involve creativity and collaboration. We have discussed the "engineering design process" in my class and I love that these activities teach my students about grit, perseverance, and how to work with a team.

I selected a few STEAM activities. I selected the LEGO BricQ Motion Prime Set which will help my students learn forces and motion concepts in a hands-on way. I also picked out a Magna-Tiles Metropolis set so that students are able to build/create and learn about shapes/geometry while also developing language, cognitive, and motor skills.

In addition, many of the students I work with have sensory needs. I am always in search of items to add to my "Zen Zone" or classroom safe space. I have a designated area with: a yoga mat with a visual chart of various yoga poses, pillows, Zen garden, and various sensory toys/items (e.g. liquid timers, stress balls, squish balls, pop fidget toys, noise canceling headphones, etc.). I found some sensory-friendly fidgets/items from Lakeshore Learning that I can add to my "Zen Zone". These items include: Tilt Turn Liquid Sensory Windows, Jumbo Rhythm Rain Stick, and the Watch-it-Whirl Spiral Spinner. Lastly, I have selected a 10-pack of headsets/headphones. My students use headsets for things like watching videos for inspiration/ideas for STEAM challenges and listening to relaxing/calming music.
