My Students
My classroom is a special education resource room. I currently provide special education services to 38 students in grades K-5. Our school serves 680 students in suburban Salt Lake County and offers academic rigor, dual-language immersion, and fantastic, caring teachers.
My students and I need more manipulatives to support number sense and fine motor skills.
My students have learning disabilities and a lot of diverse needs. They will benefit from concrete manipulatives in order to build important number concepts. This year, I have more students than before who need support with their prewriting skills, including grasping. In order to help them, I need more games and activities to engage my students in meaningful practice so they gain confidence while practicing difficult skills. It will help me as I offer individualized support to help them access the general education classroom.
My goal is to help them succeed by learning to become decision-makers, passionate leaders, and critical thinkers no matter what challenges they face!
My Project
These materials will help my students to bridge gaps between themselves and their peers by providing the hands-on and concrete learning experiences that they need. COVID has challenged me as a teacher to find additional ways to help my students close learning gaps because there are a lot of things my students have missed out on from virtual learning to activities that aren't possible during these times.
We need manipulatives to help build concrete understanding.
Please help me provide these experiences to my students in a way that is not possible without these items.
