My Project
Welcome to our room! Where great things are happening! Every day, six wonderful and talented students come to this room full of joy, enthusiasm, and energy ready to learn. Here in our room, they just don’t learn academics but also social skills, communication, and independent functioning skills to be able to become independent and be part of the community. My students are creative, curious, funny, smart, and very fun to work with. Every day, these students show that they can comprehend. From an artist to a photographer, to a musical spirit, to a jokester, a computer savvy, and an engineer, these students can learn, given the right resources.
With the right educators, support, and resources these students can be successful in life.
Our day consists of morning meetings where we work on social skills, participation, engagement, and communication skills. Then, the learning happens through experiences using hands-on and multisensory activities.
My students are visual and kinesthetic learners with exceptional communication, independence, and social skills education needs. Some are non-verbal learners but express great enthusiasm when reinforcing games, toys, and surprises such as bubbles, drawings, and other sensory activities. Sensory activities, such as sandboxes, and playdough, or sensory equipment such as rocking chairs, allow my students to calm down and get back on track to work on their tasks in the classroom. My students also learn best through experiences and visuals. Therefore, I need the use of colored ink to modify curriculum activities and or create multiple visuals for them to communicate effectively. The materials I have chosen for my project will help my students to participate, be more engaged, and have experiences that will enhance their background knowledge.
