Bringing FUN-shui to My Class

My Project

Many of my students are visual learners. Lessons and therapy require increased use of visuals to better bridge abstract concepts. To make learning meaningful, I aim to bring story books to life. These include creating visual icons, core word boards, and sentence strips. Most importantly, for this project, I am wanting to create an organized and accessible learning environment.

My students will benefit from an increase of individualized visual resources that are organized throughout my classroom.

Majority of my lesson plans require visuals, lamination, velcro dots for tactile learning, and organizational pockets for quick access. Additionally, the use of felt boards to display themed topics or targeted vocabulary have been new ideas I've been thinking of! With some motion-activated toys or mid-tech devices, I need to occasionally change out the batteries. I at times find myself needing to also help classrooms maintain their student's devices--hence the mini tool kit! The heater is to keep my classroom warm as the main ventilation/heat does not run through my class.

Thank you for helping my students have a more rich learning environment filled with materials that are organized in an efficient space.
