My Students

My delightful students love life and both work and play hard. They also struggle with the effects of a variety of disabilities including Autism, intellectual disabilities, blindness, deafness and/or Downs Syndrome.

This Special Education classroom is comprised of students who remain in the self-contained classroom for the majority of the day, but are also included with typical peers as much as possible.

Along with individualized goals, we study basic academics in the form of a simplified version of the core curriculum. We also make speech, motor, social, and life skills a priority in our learning.

My Project

Puzzles are an engaging way for students to interact with and solidify learning. This particular classroom does not have any wooden puzzles to use for student learning. This is something we would like to develop- a library or collection in a variety of subjects and ability levels including puzzles for matching, sorting, shapes, letters, numbers, counting, hand-eye coordination etc.

Puzzles help our students develop physical, academic, and socially.

It is important that they learn to problem solve. Wooden puzzles are beneficial because they are sturdy, stand up to being sanitized, and are more easily manipulated by students with poor motor skills.
