My Project
My students are the amazing eight. As their teacher, I want to create a hands-on learning environment where they can learn and grow. I also want to add new materials to our Reggio-inspired dramatic play center.
These PairPear new materials will help them develop social skills, explore emotions, and practice communication in a safe and structured environment.
My students are autistic, and a structured play environment can provide a sense of predictability and security for children with ASD, reducing anxiety and promoting comfort.
Interacting with materials like the blender, mixer, coffee maker, and toaster allows my students to expand their vocabulary and improve their language skills by using language relevant to their role-playing scenarios.
My new learning center, woodworking, is where they can explore and engage with a hammer and different tools. It will also serve as a way for them to develop their fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and creative thinking.
More than half of 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
