My Students

My 6:1:2 Special Needs Pre-K classroom is a safe and loving place for our most special little ones to get the support and guidance they need in order to reach their goals across all developmental domains (Physical, Social-Emotional, Cognitive, Language). We are located in a Brooklyn based Pre-K center, where the majority of students/families in our class as well as our center are immigrants from various countries and are English Language Learners.

My students can spend up to 3 years in my classroom, therefore, I am determined to make their first school experience one to remember.

Our 6:1:2 class is the only one of it's kind in the district and our students travel from all over the borough of Brooklyn to attend, in person, 5 days a week. In our school building, they have access to speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and a variety of special education classroom settings geared to each child needs. My goal is to make my classroom as well equipped as it can be to provide each child with the materials and support they may need.

My Project

In the world of special education, appropriate and individualized materials are crucial for the development of each child. While our new and thriving special education program is equipped with a trained staff and a loving and engaging learning environment, we are always learning about what materials are most safe and appropriate for our student population. Materials need to be big enough to avoid choking scenarios, provide appropriate sensory input, and meet each child at their developmental level.

Since our students generally function at a 12 - 18 month old level, the materials we are asking for will help promote progress in their motor, sensory, cognitive, and social skills.

During this time of distanced learning, we are fortunate enough to spend 5 days a week in the classroom. Because all of our learning is hands-on, we need an ample amount of materials to rotate throughout the day in order to avoid cross-contamination and give each child an equal opportunity to reach their goals. My students are in need of toys and learning materials that are geared to a younger student population as well as special needs.
