My middle school students are people with severe disabilities that learn life skills in my classroom. This includes learning how to cook boxed foods, life hacks to clean rooms better, and so much more! Our students learn the same academics as our middle schoolers but it is brought towards their level. We learn our academics while the also learning community skills. Before I became their teacher, my students were not introduced towards technology nicely. They have made a massive improvement towards learning this skill and I want to build on their potential with this project. Another skill that needs to be taught as a daily living skill is patience. My students are learning new ways to wait for the next step and how to spend their free time properly. That is why this project has sensory objects that will help them stay calm in a nervous situation such as a fire drill. I want to give my students to best education we can
