My Project

Thank you for visiting my page! My middle school math class is full of hardworking and creative students. My students have a variety of challenges ranging from Autism, to Sensory processing disorders, to ADHD, and behavioral struggles. Over 90% of them are on individualized education plans. The special needs of my students mean that I must endeavor to have creative and fluid lessons to keep them engaged.

By donating to our project, you will enable my students to have the support and motivation that they need to have a successful math experience.

The privacy partitions will allow them to work in private without over stimulating sensory input from their surroundings. The expo markers and dice will give them access to tools that they need for hands-on and engaging math. Of course, middle schoolers are constantly hungry, so the snacks help to motivate them and to satisfy their appetites. The candy to suck on is also a wonderful way to assist students with oral sensory needs and anxiety.

My students love to work together to tackle challenges in the classroom. In this supported environment, they are encouraged to communicate, problem-solve, and utilize teamwork to tackle real-world situations and problems. Because of the diverse abilities and challenges of my students I have learned to be adaptive in how I approach each student's needs in the classroom. This also means that I need to diversify and modify my lessons in order to keep them engaged. These supplies will help me to meet the constantly changing needs in my classroom.
