My students need 2 book displays, a rug, classroom prizes, a wobble cushion, a balance-ball chair, and sensory items such as Play-Doh, puffer balls, peg puzzles, Turtle Weights, water beads,and Therapressure brushes in order to meet their unique learning needs.
"Everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid." -Albert Einstein
Being different is not a choice that my students made, but it is a reality that they are faced with, on a daily basis.
All of the students in my class are deaf, and they also struggle with other conditions that make learning tough.
In spite of their learning difficulties, they are motivated and caring. They deserve the same kinds of opportunities, as every other typically developing child, and I want to ensure they have all the tools they need to succeed.
My Project
I am requesting a wobble cushion, a balance-ball chair, and sensory items such as Play-Doh and Therapressure brushes for my students. We have very few tools in our classroom and my students would benefit from the sensory items, as well as the classroom materials in many ways. Being able to focus on academic learning can be a challenge. Sitting in a chair for periods of time is a struggle. Having sensory items that can help my students develop their attending skills, will greatly impact their overall retention.
We have very few classroom tools that are specific to the needs of the children in my class.
This project will enhance the classroom environment, in a huge way. For the first time in their academic careers, my students will be able to walk into a classroom that was tailor made to meet their unique needs.
