My Students

My students are special needs and require lots of assistance to go through an entire school day. They have difficulties with sensory processing disorders, fine motor, visual motor and gross motor difficulties. The students are learning to write their names. We are currently starting up a writing program and require materials. The students are more engaged and eager to learn with multi-sensory techniques of learning to color and forming letters. They dance to the music, rolled out the letters with dough and utilized chalkboard, crayons and paint.

My Project

The workbooks and materials will help us improve our writing workshop in the classroom and in therapy. The students are utilizing different strategies in learn to write: music with visual aides, play-doh, wood pieces chalkboard and workbooks. They begin with with music, then hands-on activity. The students work on grasping crayons and coloring simple shapes, then form letters from the top to the bottom. Each student is learning at a different level and pace. They require individual worksheets. With their individual workbooks, they will be able to access lessons that are easier and will be more organized. With the additional materials, we can open their minds to different ways of learning to form letters.
