My students need laminating pouches & velcro for visual aids; as well as books & games for building social skills. Inside Out is our theme for learning about emotions.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Imagine being in elementary school and never going to the playground, eating in the cafeteria or visiting the library. That was the reality for some of our students. The goal of our program is to help them be successful in the classroom and allow them to experience all that school has to offer.
I have an amazing group of students in Kindergarten through 5th Grade who are all identified as having autism or other developmental disorders.
They are funny, energetic children with rich, diverse personalities. They work hard and have made a lot of progress, but still need support with areas such as social interactions, communication, and sensory processing. These children live in a low-income, industrial neighborhood, where nearly all of the students learn English as their second language. Over 98% of the students in our school are classified as economically disadvantaged. Despite the challenges, the school has become a bright spot in the community. There is a good volunteer base on the campus. There are after-school programs, GED and citizenship classes, as well as a low / no cost clinic. It is a loving, child-friendly environment that seeks to serve the whole family and better our community.
My Project
There is a wide range of ability levels among our students. We use the laminating supplies and velcro to make visual aides that help our students stay organized and engaged, through picture schedules and communication cards. Lamination and velcro are the staples of a Structured Learning Class. Several books and games were selected which will be used to help build social skills. There are also several sensory items on the list. These will give our students the tactile, visual and auditory stimulation that they need. The fidgets, elastic bands and other items will be use to provide to sensory input to students while they are in the general education setting.
Our desire is to provide these students with the skills and resources they need in order to succeed.
They each have the capacity to improve and grow. No one knows their full potential. These materials can significantly improve the outlook for this special group of children.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
