My Students

As a teacher for a special day program, I have an amazing opportunity to impact the lives of my students. We educate twelve students in a CORE autism program. Their grades span from TK-1 We follow the same curriculum as our regular peers but also emphasize learning social skills, school routines, and the hidden curriculum. We need many different ways to learn including technology, hands-on materials, and opportunities to move.

Despite our label of having autism, we choose to break stereotypes by creating a family of empathy and working as a team.

My students often have difficulty communicating their needs and staying focused. Our needs vary from educational, to social, sensory, and developmental support. I am committed to helping them make breakthroughs to continue their education and work alongside their general education peers.

My Project

These materials will support the social-emotional learning of students both at-home and in-person. We need new books to help support our conversations on feelings and learn to self-regulate. Books are a wonderful way to begin and continue dialogue on emotions.

These simple hands-on materials will help students develop the independent skills they need to be successful.

As we return to school, we need to help students develop a sense of normalcy and new routines. Hands-on activities that are engaging will help students learn routines and develop a sense of pride in the classroom. We need more opportunities to enjoy learning!
