My Students

Teaching Special Education elementary is a wonderful blessing. I have the opportunity to witness learning "Ah ha" moments every day. Many of them were diagnosed with a learning disability at preschool age. I am very thankful for the privilege to guide my students to the specific skills that were missed in development. Like all children, my students have their own abilities and interests.

Learning gaps in reading are the largest hurdles for most of my students.

Some have difficulties with processing speed but they continue trying which is all I ask of them.

My Project

Sensory items and Dot markers help my students relax and gets them ready to work. Surprisingly, Dot markers get students to want to learn. For some they are a great warm-up. Others get to use them as a reward for working hard on an assignment. During independent work some of the students like to hold or watch a sensory object.

My students like the independence of being able to use sensory products when they choose.

They are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of others. My students are fun and enjoy learning.
