My Students

The students in my classroom are on the autism spectrum; the grades range from transitional kindergarten, kindergarten, first and second grade. Most of the students are verbal however, some of the students have limited to no verbal communication. It's amazing to see how far the students develop throughout the year when they are in my classroom. My job is so rewarding working with students who are on the autism spectrum.

Each student in the class is special in their own way and brings a smile to my face every day.

My students are creative, smart, fun and unique. The students are visual learners and benefit from learning through technology. They enjoy learning through educational videos, music, educational games, social skills, and building language.

My Project

These supplies that are need, will be used on a daily basis to help the students succeed in and outside the classroom in their general education setting. The paper will help the students projects come to life. The velcro will be used for each students specific needs, such as visual schedules, first then charts, and token economy, These items will help the students meet their basic needs in my classroom.

The students deserve supplies to help meet their daily needs inside the special day class, and in the general education classroom.

Each child is special in their own way and these supplies will help them succeed throughout the school year.
