My Project
My students are often underestimated, but they are some of the most brilliant, loving, and resilient kids you could ever meet. Each child in my self-contained autism classroom learns differently, and they shine when given the chance to explore hands-on materials that match their strengths. They thrive in routines, love solving problems in creative ways, and benefit from activities that allow them to learn independently. What makes them special is not just how they learn, but how hard they work—and how much joy they bring to the process.
This project will help my students feel successful and independent as they learn through play.
The puzzles and STEM materials I’ve chosen are more than just fun activities—they are tools for growth. They will help my students build problem-solving skills, fine motor coordination, and confidence. My goal is to give them a space where they can work independently, make choices, and feel proud of what they’ve accomplished. These tools will help my students believe in themselves—and show others just how capable they really are.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
