Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

The students in my classroom are all Autistic and have high sensory needs. Some of my students have had limited verbal/communication and some are non-verbal in which they communicate with a core board or PECS. They have sensory breaks in between to explore sand and water.

The students in my classroom are in the 3-5th grade.

They are always eager to explore new things. They are very technologically savvy. The population of students in this area receives 100% free lunch.

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students

The students in my class will be able to explore using their sensory needs of the kinetic sand, play sand and draw memorable paintings to keep.

During our structured day, the students have a sensory time embedded in their schedules in which they explore various stations. During this time they will be able to explore the various sensory stations that will have (kinetic sand, play sand, painting, water stations., etc. We will use the materials daily to help implement tactile sensory needs in our classroom for all of the students.
