My kindergarteners are in a self-contained special education class. They are very sweet and work very hard to be successful. Unfortunately, due to their disabilities they are functioning below grade level. Our school doesn't have the funding to meet all their needs. It is my goal to have a classroom of fun activities, especially books, to help them achieve and grow.
