My students need manipulatives such as block to increase fine motor skills and build social language through interaction.

My Students
I teach a special education preschool program in a rural Utah town. My students consist of special education toddlers age 2-5, along with 12 typically developing children who serve as peer models. I have quite the spectrum of ability levels in my classroom from very young differently abled children, who are experiencing their first time away from parents, all the way up to pre-kindergarten students who are reading on their own.
I love teaching a broad spectrum of students.
I think what I enjoy the most about preschool age children is their ability to explore the world around them, and find wonder in their imaginations. The reason I feel that our program is so special it that preschool is the only time that SPED children will experience full inclusion with their typically developing peers. I have seen so many benefits for developing children as they learn and play with each other.
My Project
I teach SPED preschool in a rural Utah school We service a large community of preschool aged students in our county. Being in a new school has been a wonderful opportunity to build a program and provide services for families of students with disabilities. However, funding for items has been very limited. I would love to provide building blocks for my students to have in our block center.
I feel that providing quality materials that will encourage creative play; will be a benefit for my SPED students as well as the typical peer model students.
I envision a classroom where students are interacting, playing together and learning from one another.
