My Students

My students are very unique. They are loving and caring. They are learning how to navigate this world with their own special challenges. Some have words while others are struggling to communicate with others as they have no words.

Most of my students are autistic with sensory issues.

They struggle with sound and light changes and need help learning how to cope with these issues.

This program gives my students, with their unique challenges, an opportunity to learn and thrive within our district. My energetic preschoolers enter the classroom ready to learn, discover, and explore.

My Project

With these materials to teach writing, my students will be able to learn how to write their letters in a fun non-frustrating way. The pages within these writing books have pictures that will pull their interest in their work. While the fidgets will help to keep the students calm and in their area as we work on staying in our seats.

The fundamentals of handwriting will go far beyond my classroom.

Therefore learning should not be full of tears. This is why I have chosen these books to help my students learn to write.
