My Project

This year students have taken on a new curriculum, and through that they are now exploring more about America and what makes it sooooo special. Students have falling in love with the monuments and symbols, and want to learn more and more about them. It is truly special to see this new spark of interest in my special education students. They want to learn more and more and this series title, Otto Tales allows them to do that in a fun way. Also it promotes connections as the same character travels the USA and learns about his monuments, symbols and holidays, like Flag Day.
