My Students

I teach 14-18-year-olds with a variety of intellectual, physical, and sensory impairments in our high school's classroom for students with autism. Each one of my students has a unique learning style. My students need school supplies to help promote learning!

Our building is considered a Title I school, which means most of our students are considered "at-risk,” my students work hard and are engaged in their learning despite difficulties they face due to their disabilities.

We work with each student individually to help them communicate their personal goals and visions for the future.

My Project

My students need basic school supplies that the school is unable to provide for us throughout the school year. The supplies will be used as a part of our daily learning. My students use Mead Composition Notebooks for when we do our interactive social studies notebooks. We use 3 ring binder organizers to help organize my students' work. We use the laminating pouches to help make some of our work reusable. The laminating pouches help my students who need repetition to learn life skills such as their name, address, and phone number.
