My Students

My students are so energetic and eager to learn! I teach second to fourth grade self contained, special education students. These kiddos come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. They have behavior, sensory, as well as intellectual disabilities. My students academically range in ability, but one thing that is the same is their love for doing hands-on-activities. I love to include real life experiences as much as possible and feel that for my students it is a must. We live in a small rural community. Our community takes pride in our schools and our students. At school, every month we study a different character trait. These traits promote healthy social emotional well-being.

My Project

My students love to use art to express their feelings and to use as sensory breaks. My students sometimes have a hard time verbalizing their emotions and using art has helped them to express their emotions. When my students are upset, art can help them forget why they are upset. To help keep my students engaged, I try to use a variety of different art materials. Many of my students use daily visual schedules. Giving them sensory breaks allows them time to create art projects. These projects are often motivators to get our class work done so we can play.
