My Project
My students have worked so hard this year! We have mastered sight words, addition, and using words to express ourselves. My students need a lot of focus on occupational therapy. Things like playdough help strengthen hand muscles for fine motor skills like fastening buttons, tying shoes and using better handwriting. Along with playdough, my students utilize whiteboards and whiteboard markers to strengthen their handwriting skills. As the year has gone on, marker caps have been lost, markers have been thrown away, and my students are in need of new ones to practice these skills.
So much of our learning is done online, and it is imperative my students can hear clearly to what is being done through quality headphones.
Our headphones have gone through a lot of wear and tear this year, and most of them no longer work. Students cannot hear the online sessions they must do. New headphones will allow for student to complete their online work successfully to their fullest potential.
