My Students

The students at my school can be described in one word and that’s “creative.” Art, music, and dance are just some of the ways they express their creativity. Many of my students are non verbal and their primary method of communication is through art. Art is what frees them from being unable to express their wants, needs, and feelings. Art is also how these bright students show their knowledge and connect with other peers. My students also love music and dance. At any point in time you an catch them singing or dancing around the school. They bring joy to all around them and give us hope for the future.

My Project

Our school as very few resources and teachers often do not have the basic materials to assist the students to their full capacity. In my school, I have teachers who are creating much needed individualized learning materials for students but are unable to complete the job because of not having basic needs like a laminator. The students often have to share dry erase boards causing the lessons to take longer. Sensory objects like play dough and chewing objects could assist in helping the students stem out in an appropriate way. Our teachers are truly hard working and our students deserve to have access to basic materials to get the most from their learning.
