My Project

Each year, we have to think about items and themes that would make for a great topic of conversation for the students with autism that are walking into our classroom.

A circus theme classroom will make learning more fun.

Students are going to want to come into the classroom each day to see what kind of circus will take place that particular day. The colors and atmosphere will make the classroom very inviting and exciting for the students. They will get to experience the greatest show on earth: learning to read!
