My Students

My students are simply AMAZING! They face life with many challenges and struggles that many of us would take for granted. I have students that struggle to walk, struggle to express their wants and feelings, and I have students that require a bit more time to grasp basic concepts. BUT that does not deter them. They continue to persevere until they get it. My students are kind, loving, and excited to spend time together. They light up with every part of their being when they are happy or accomplish a task. They work hard to learn and practice their skills and lessons. They inspire me to keep going and do my best. They reinforce to me that life is a wonderful adventure to be apart of. I love working with my students every day.

My Project

My students love music! They love to sing, listen to music, and create music with instruments. The musical realm is one of few areas that my students with special needs can interact as equals with peers.

Exploring music allows my students to interact and participate as equals with their same age typical peers.

Music time is an opportunity to mainstream with other students. All students will have an instrument to play. The general education students will help my students to play these instruments. We will be apart of a school spring assembly and my students will have their own instrumental portion. Each of my students will know and understand their part in the musical ensemble.

The instruments will also be used to integrate music into everyday lessons. For example, as students learn about the days of the week, instruments will be used to create a sound for the day. Also, as students learn about the weather, sounds will be used to associate with conditions outside. Every morning we sing and chant basic numbers, days, weather, and names. Music is important to help my students solidify understanding of information.
