My Project

I teach in a middle school, self contained classroom. My students require adapted materials and educational items to learn daily skills. My students require visually consistent areas within the classroom to work.

Help me make learning fun!

The puzzles will allow my students to work on their fine motor, problem solving skills, and work on academics. The sensory bands and weighted vest will allow my students to self regulate their emotions. The colored masking tape will allow me to create spaces within the classroom for each student. The academic activities will allow my students to practice academic tasks.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
