My Students
"What time is it?", "How much does that cost?" Imagine not being able to understand those questions? My students do not. I am creating this project so that I can have the proper materials to teach them about time and money.
My class is made up of 12-14 year old young adults with Autism and a variety of other disabilities.
We are in a self-contained school for children with special needs. At this point in their lives we must look towards their future and nurture skills that will help them when they are out in the world after graduation. This year I have decided to focus on time and money. What could be more important that being able to tell time and use money?
My Project
I always work to prepare my special needs students for the future. I cannot think of two more important skills that knowing to tell time and using money. Sadly, most of my students cannot identify a penny. I would like to create a teaching station in the classroom where my students can become familiar with money and clocks and learn to use them appropriately. We take weekly trips into the community to purchase food for the class. I would love for my students to know what time we need to get ready to leave and how to use money to purchase goods.
Students with disabilities need to function in the world outside of school.
For most of my students there is school, home and no where else. When they graduate they are thrown into the community with or without appropriate survival skills. Understanding time and money are two of the most important skills they can possibly learn. Please help me get them the materials I need to teach them.
