My Students

"Fair isn't everyone getting the same thing. Fair is everyone getting what they need in order to be successful." All of my students need individualized instruction in social skills in order for them to be successful in school, at home, and in life.

My dynamic group of students have diverse social, emotional, and behavioral needs.

Each student in my classroom is very unique and requires individualized support and resources. However, all of my students require instruction in social skills. Teaching students social skills allows them to learn strategies to manage frustration, make and maintain friendships, manage emotions, and accept help and support from others. Thank you for taking the time to review my project! My students and I appreciate your time and support!

My Project

Our class is in need of timers to support our students. This project has a variety of timers to meet the needs of all of our individual students. Some of our students need visual timers with lights to prompt their transition. These timers turn yellow to prepare them for a transition before the timer ends. While other students, are successful with smaller kitchen timers. We also need batteries to maintain these timers. Please help our students thrive in school by being able to successfully transition. This maximizes their time learning and builds independence. This project will provide my students will the tools they need to thrive.
