Engaging Creative Minds

My students need activities to build fine motor and foundational skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Burgett's classroom raised $460

My Students

I have 7 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, group time to work on academic skills and writing, story time to work on comprehension, math, science and art time where we create creative and colorful projects using construction paper and following picture directions. They have made so much progress so far this year with academic, social and communication skills.

My Project

My students have fine motor, academic, social and communication delays which impact their ability to fully interact with each other and build basic academic skills. Some of my students are learning how to sit and participate in an activity. They need activities that will help them learn basic academic skills, participate in tasks and interact with each other.

My students need to be engaged the entire day.

They have a structured routine and activities to work on throughout the day. The activities in this project will help some students to build basic participation skills that a typically developing toddler would learn. Materials need to be strong and durable since some students put many things in their mouth. The shape, color and object sorting activities will help students focus on tasks while working on fine motor skills and building some foundational learning skills.

Other students in my classroom are working on higher level tasks so the alphabet and number activities will help them work on basic skills while building fine motor skills. Students will use the activities in small groups, one on one with a teacher and also to practice independent skills. We complete a variety of activities throughout the day and the addition of these materials will allow students to continue to progress socially, academically and improve fine motor and communication skills.
