I have the pleasure of having such an amazing and diverse group of students. My students have been placed in a self-contained classroom for students labeled as having multiple disabilities. My students have disabilities that range from intellectual to physical disabilities, to other health impairments.
My students require intensive, individualized, and frequent instruction to allow them to be as functional & independent within the community.
Some skills that are of the utmost importance are communication skills (having their own communication system), basic math skills (like number recognition), & basic literacy skills (like identifying letters or their names).
Most importantly, despite disabilities and being in a low-income area, they are great students. They are crazy, fun-loving, determined, and bright young minds. They make my day interesting and not one single day is the same. That's the life of a special education classroom, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
My Project
Kids love toys. Kids love being rewarded! My kids love keeping their little hands busy. Kids love new toys, especially sticky stuff, stuff that makes noise, etc.
Let's get my kids a wide variety of new, fun toys to pick from the treasure box!
We have a reward system within the class to give positive feedback for great, desirable behaviors. Currently, the students get to pick from a variety of activities to do within the classroom to reward good behavior, but I think it'd be great for them to have something tangible and something new!
Cups are in this project too, so the students can pick cups as a reward & we can decorate them with the class Cricut!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
