My Project

We are still inquiring to purchase various items to assist our students by implementing more efficient accessible activities to help them succeed in their learning.

In today’s world, we are faced with many challenges.

Electronic items such as smart boards, iPad, and computers play a huge role in education. I work in a Special Education setting where my students are battling many challenges within themselves; most of which are on the autism spectrums. It is imperative to keep giving our students assess to as many various outlets as possible on a daily basis. Being dedicated and remaining consistent by challenging students will stimulate and strengthen their minds.

Each of these items will serve a purpose. They are a necessity which plays a huge role in helping our students succeed to the best of their abilities. The Cricut machine will help me greatly toward allowing my students to be more creative and artsy. I can implement activities pertaining to the Cricut, promoting and improving organization skills. The sensory activities will help my students with their motor skills, cognitive development, creativity, and strengthen their language development.

Only a strong education can lead our nation and city in the right direction with the proper tools.
