My Project

My school day is spent with my students teaching them how to develop an understanding of problem solving. All of my students are developmentally delayed, and many are on the Autism spectrum with sensory needs. Concepts that seem easy to us are not always so with my students. I try to bring ideas and concepts to them with the use of building, active engagement, and visual builds.

We look to see if we can put together builds with the magnetic tiles that have more than one way of an end product.

We look to find an answer to a simple problem and then apply it to what we have in front of us. In breaking into groups, my students practice communication, socialization, and computer science skills which help them with their individual goals.

This school year I want to push my student to their limits. I would like to make them the best that they can be all the while having fun and learning new concepts they can use in their lives.
