Many of my students are non-verbal which in turn makes it difficult for myself and my educational assistants to understand their wants needs and emotions. The one thing that enables my students to express themselves is through their motor skills. Sign language flash cards will help my students learn simple signs to better communicate so that we as teachers and staff are able to understand how to make our students more successful. My students enjoy art, enhancing
their fine motor skills by drawing on doodle pads, drawing/copying their feelings.
My students love the going Ipads and computers. The computers we got in our classrooms are too small and having a large monitor students can use to play eye-hand coordination games and mazes.
I have students who can run a 50-yard dash in under 10 seconds but cannot count to 20. I have another student who can juggle two balls with 1 hand. Their hand-eye coordination is amazing and I can see/feel them expressing themselves through their movement. It's fortunate that my students have these abilities to express themselves. It is difficult for a person to understand and communicate through movement, but with more tools, the more we are able to bridge that gap of communication.
COVID-19 made a very large impact on all students but especially those with special needs. Being away from the classroom hindered students from their social-emotional learning. Being away from the classroom also hindered physical activity. It is time to let the students express who they are through movement and their motor skills help them to do that.
