My Project

I am currently a Special Education Autistic Support Teacher K-2nd grade.

I teach at Harrington Elementary School.

These items(tactile liquid letters, sensory balls, foam sensory paint, dabbers, sensory toys and my feeling bent bags) that I am requesting will be a great benefit to my students. For example, I have many students who struggles with staying focus, however sensory items are a great way to keep students focused and engaged. This will help them in their learning. My goal is to make sure my students are getting the proper resources to help them learn. My students are special because each one of them bring something different to class. My students makes teaching meaningful. They remind me of why I love teaching.
