My Project

My scholars love working hands on with manipulatives that feel like playing games. Throughout my list you’ll notice it mostly contains manipulatives that will help my scholars really grasp the concepts we learn through our curriculum. Learning in a fun way helps them to really remember these concepts for future learning.

I also would really love to be able to give my scholars the perfect call down corner: a cozy seat, a rug, some emotional support stuffies, and more to help them not only learn about their emotions as well as how to cope with them!
