This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
This is my second year teaching special education. I am beginning to build hands-on activities and classroom resources to use with my students. I work with students with special needs and I typically work with 4-6 students at a given time. I help provide extra support for students in ELA and math. I use hands-on manipulatives and multi-sensory approaches to teaching and learning. What I love most about my students is the different strengths they all bring to our classroom! Students enter the room excited to get started in the day's material. They love and enjoy learning new centers that will be started in our classroom and taking the time to master those centers. I love that each student's strength helps create a new strength within another student. They work together to help one another become successful. I am so thankful to work with such a wonderful group of students!
My Project
These materials will help make a difference by offering students hands-on word work stations and experiences. For example, students can manipulate objects to practice making sentences, sight words as well as practice various spelling patterns. Additionally, the bins and sensory materials will help provide a space where students can take a break, participate in activities that focus on fine motor- such as building, manipulating sensory foam etc. for students to reset and return to their class work. This will help students self monitor when they need a quick 3-5 minute break to re-set and return to the task at hand. Students enjoy having the opportunity to participate in hands on learning.
