Special Things for Special Needs

My students need a variety of sensory items to help them better learn and adapt their experience within the classroom. They also could use various science experiments and equipment to provide a more tactile learning environment.

My Students

I teach a self contained classroom with high school aged students. My students present with a variety of disabilities. I teach every subject to the students, including: Math, English, Science, History, as well as Life Skills, and also organize a variety of community experiences for them. The most popular part of the curriculum includes the trips to various locations within our community.

Although my students may struggle in the classroom with basic tasks and life skills, their extraordinary character and desire to contribute allows them to excel within the community.

Over the course of the last several years, I have embarked on a variety of different experiences with my students.

My students learn in various different ways. They learn best, however, through hands on, kinesthetic activities. Throughout the curriculum, we work on many different science experiments, art projects, and differentiated activities.

My Project

These sensory materials will help tremendously within my special education classroom. Academically, the materials asked for provide my students with hands on, exciting, kinesthetic activities.

Given my students have a plethora of special needs, it is important that they are provided with sensory items to help them focus, and keep them engaged in the lesson.

The materials requested cover a variety of subjects, including: mathematics, applied sciences, life skills, literacy, among other subjects and areas. The science experiments, manipulatives, and different materials will help provide my students with the most individualized learning environment possible for the upcoming school year.
