My Project

I teach a high school life-skills special education classroom. My students have a range of needs. They need lots of hands-on practice for fine-motor skills, sensory, and active needs. The math activities will be used to help students practice equations with their hands. The building activities will be used as stem activities for students to create and practice fine-motor skills. The book shelves will help contain store items, such as cereal boxes, cans, and containers. The students will take inventory of the items, price the items, and practice purchasing the items. These skills can be used for vocational practice.
