Elevating Electives for Students with ASD

Help me give my students supplies to support exploration of new activities in their elective period.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Goya's classroom raised $995

This project is fully funded

My Students

The students who are in my classroom for the majority of the day are curious, inquisitive, and eager to learn. My class specializes in supporting middle school students with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In particular, the emphasis of my class is to develop students' behavioral, emotional, and social skills in order to allow them to collaborate and interact with their peers successfully.

My students are learning how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors overlap to help them make choices.

They love to ask questions, play games, and are always trying to make sense of the world around them.

My Project

These materials will help support our students explore different elective activities including arts and crafts, physical education, and cooking.

Students with ASD can be rigid in their thinking and reluctant to trying new things; therefore, our classroom utilizes a rotating elective period to help students explore new activities as they learn more about their interests, strengths, and needs.

The arts and crafts supplies will help students complete a weekly arts and crafts activity, helping students to explore different mediums including but not limited to: painting, drawing, sculpting, and crafting.

The physical education supplies will help students participate in various physical activities each week including but not limited to: gymnastics, yoga, boxing, and cardio.

The cooking supplies will help students learn to prepare different types of meals, including those new and unfamiliar to them. Students with ASD can often have specific preferences with food. When students make their own meals, they may be more open to trying new types of food.
