My Students

Students at my school come here excited to learn. Our students all have unique characteristics that make them so special. We have students who have autism, down syndrome, genetic disorders, learning disabilities, speech disorders, traumatic brain injuries, and other health impairments.

Our students are excited to be accepted in all our classrooms in our building with their friends.

My Project

Students will be able to take a dive into the ocean to gather their sensory input by going to a room designed just for them!

Relax, breath in, and blow out your bubbles - this room is for you!

These materials will help give our sensory room an uplift and a relaxing theme. Materials are to help all students in our school who need a minute to relax and take a breath before going to class in order for them to have a successful day. We even have the light table with math manipulatives to help students using the counting strategy to relax.
