My Students

I have seven students in a K-1 autism classroom. Most of my students have limited verbal skills and do not communicate much on their own. They have varying levels of academic skills and the majority are working on learning basic skills, as well as communication and social skills.

We have a structured routine throughout the day with many hands-on and independent activities.

We have a morning routine that students look forward to every day, independent work time where students practice working by themselves on skills they have mastered, and group time to work on academic skills and writing. Students have storytime​ to work on comprehension, math, science and art where we create creative and colorful projects using construction paper and follow picture directions. They have made so much progress so far this year with academic, social, and communication skills.

My Project

My students love books and enjoy looking through the pictures in books. They also love hearing books read to them. My students will often choose to look at books when given free time choices. My students cannot read but they will choose books to look at where characters look like them.

It is important that I have as many diverse books in the classroom that they can hear and look at it so they can see themselves represented in books.

The books in this project represent my students in a variety of ways. They highlight children with disabilities, children who celebrate different religions and different cultures. These books will give my students more opportunities to see characters like them and our classroom library will have more of a representation of what our class looks like.
