My Students
My students are diverse learners in a self-contained K-2 special education classroom. Each child is a unique child with many wonderful qualities. Each child also requires an individualized learning experience to promote success. In our classroom, the students rely on a significantly modified curriculum that is also aligned to their grade level curriculum. They rely heavily on visual supports, materials for hands on learning, routines and a classroom with a variety of areas to meet all their individual needs. Our students seek a great deal of sensory opportunities throughout the day. They benefit from daily implementation of behavioral and social skill activities. They are all eager to learn and do best when the classroom is designed to meet their needs.
My Project
This project with help to provide resources for a self contained K-2 classroom. The resources will provide a variety of sensory materials for our students and instructional materials to support learning.
Providing an opportunity for sensory exploration is essential to student learning.
Our students require sensory materials in the classroom for various reasons. Sensory materials can be used as motivation for student to work towards a reward of their choosing when work is completed to reach academic goals. We are requesting sensory balls, fidget toys and a variety of other items they are well liked by our students. We are also looking for a tumbling mat for our calm down area where student like to go to take a break when they feel overwhelmed. Once calm their work production increases and they are ready to work. The materials help calm students down when they are upset or need a break. Sensory Materials can also help support language development for non verbal students, practice fine motor skills, improve focus and concentration.
