My Students
I teach in a Brooklyn Public school specifically for students with special needs! In our school majority of the students are diagnosed with Autism or another developmental disability that makes learning in the "typical" way difficult for them, but with some creativity and hands on fun the things these children learn and do are amazing!! I am a Library & Literacy teacher, working daily with students in Pre-K through 2nd grade, creating tasks and activities that work for individual students in order to help them experience success in reading.
In the library students get real life experiences with books, get to feel what it would be like to visit a public library and help them gain access to foundational skills needed to unlock the world of reading!
Every day these students amaze me in what they can do when given the opportunity and the appropriate tools. In the library some students are able to read while others are still worKing on identifying letters and letter sounds. No matter the level of each individual student we work very hard as a school to make sure that each one of them has positive interactions with books and develop a love of reading!
My Project
The materials in this project will help to give students who are early learners hands on experiences that are engaging and fun while still being meaningful. Students will have so much fun putting together Alligators while learning letter names and how to match the upper and lowercase letters. Working on letter sounds using the hands on buckets will make learning fun for students who need those hands on experiences! All of these tools will greatly help our learners to work at their individual pace and help to meet them at their level while pushing them onto the next!
By donating to our project you will be helping make students feel comfortable in the library space and give them the necessary right tools to help them develop a love of reading!
The bean bag chairs and teepee will help set the environment in our library to make students more comfortable while reading. I would like to see students interacting with books every day, feeling comfortable to choose a book and read or look through it in a comfortable environment that is also conducive to learning.
The leveled books requested in this project give even our earliest learners access to reading by giving them the opportunity to open up a beautiful book that has text on their level and does not make them feel intimidated. Many books in our library at this time are too difficult for our students to read so these would allow so many more students to engage in reading!
