My Students

Direct instruction second and third grade is a classroom that delivers face to face, hands on, and virtual instruction to help meet the needs of the students. The classroom includes a variety of ability and skill levels for each member.

In my classroom we focus on making each student as successful as possible.

Instruction is individualized to meet each students needs and abilities.

My Project

In my classroom it has been almost impossible to find a curriculum that meets all the diverse educational and sensory levels of my students. Some students are learning how to read and answer simple questions, some are working on letter/sound relationships, and some are working on letter identification. I frequently supplement the curriculum with hands on learning games/ materials to facilitate the skill being taught and to help the students stay focused.

This project will give me the supplies I need to continue to supplement what is being taught, as well as add some new sensory items to the classroom.

Teaching a multilevel classroom most of my students have some type of sensory issue which can include sounds, touch, and taste. They have to be taught to manage their sensory needs to stimulate their brain and improve overall learning.
