Our classroom is located in the heart of southwestern PA. I am a special education teacher of a diverse life skills classroom servicing 14 students with moderate to severe special needs. My students come from a variety of backgrounds, but one thing they all have in common; they all come to school to learn and have fun!
My classroom needs materials that are on their grade level but are for older students.
I don't have a curriculum, so I make and/or buy classroom learning activities and the supplies that are needed to make them. I could really use some help! My students are hands-on learners versus visual learners so we do a lot of activities versus worksheets.
They have diagnoses such as Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, or intellectual disabilities. Many of them are in wheelchairs and/or are non-verbal. This doesn't stop them though! They give their best each and every day!
My Project
These materials will make a huge difference in my classroom to help my students solve real-life problems such as making something stronger, bigger or smaller. My students love to build and require hands-on materials to learn. With so many different learning styles and a variety of learning levels, I have to have materials that appeal to all.
With your help, we will build our STEAM learning library and have fun activities all year long!
My students benefit from using different materials and bigger materials because of their disabilities and the ones on my list will be perfect for them.
