Help me give my students opportunities to build and generalize their skills through materials like adapted books, file folder activities, and schedules. These materials require supplies such as Velcro, sheet protectors and hanging files for organization.
I teach in a Self-Contained Kindergarten and First Grade Classroom. The students in my class are each on the Autism Spectrum. Just like the Autism Spectrum identifies a wide range of skills across many areas; my students also have a wide range of varying levels of skills in the following areas: communication, functioning, sensory, behavior, academics, social. My students love to learn and do best with hands-on materials. With your help, my students will be more successful in building their foundational math skills! Materials I’m asking for include manipulatives for counting, sorting, patterning; simple games to help support skill transfer (transferring skills learned in the learning environment to the real world); materials that incorporate fine motor skills to help support students' fine motor development.
My Project
The supplies I am requesting are needed to create and organize various tasks and activities my students use daily to increase their academic skills. My students are all working on different skills and need a variety of tasks to learn.
With your help, these supplies will be used to create and organize new task cards, adapted books, and activities that my students will use daily.
The sheet protectors make materials durable for repeated use and the Velcro dots allow activities to be interactive. The hanging file folders will organize my file folder activities. This organization will allow me to have access to the activities my students need to learn.
