My classroom is a special education classroom. I teach students with special needs. My students have communication needs, speech/language needs, and visual needs as well as learning needs. My students require hands-on learning activities. One of the resources I would like for my classroom is a play kitchen. A play kitchen can promote language and communication skills while the student is also learning new vocabulary. Another benefit of a play kitchen is that it can stimulate pretend-play skills and imagination. This play kitchen can give my students a sense of independence and confidence. Many of my students require fine motor skills. I requested a sensory board with buttons, zippers, ties, and fasteners. This will teach my students to become independent when dressing and learning to take care of themselves. Every child in my classroom has disabilities that require small group, intensive interaction with direct instruction for learning. My classroom requires hands-on learning activities to engage each student. The hands-on activities I chose will stimulate each child to be engaged in the learning process. These activities will allow the students to explore their environment while learning. These hands-on learning activities will stimulate the senses of my students now and for years to come. Special needs students learn through their senses with hands-on learning.
