My students are 4th and 5th grade students with intellectual disabilities. Each student has their own learning style, ability, and personality. My class heavily relies on visuals to help them communicate and understand the procedures of the classroom. I truly love what I do and love seeing my students blossom into the best versions of themselves they can be.
My Project
Due to the sensory needs of my students, it can be difficult to keep them in one location for any length of time. By giving them access to items that can keep their mind and body occupied during learning groups, it will allow them to focus more on the lesson. It will also cut down on distractions.
In our class, we believe if a student is given the right tools, they can succeed.
These bouncy bands and other sensory items will help my students have access to sensory stimulation while being able to attend to the lesson with the rest of the class.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
