My Project

My students with special needs, enjoy school immensely. They get excited about learning! My amazing scholars are eager to learn about the world around them. They long to understand why things happened in our past and wonder what will our future hold.

These historical and diversity read aloud books will allow my students to interact with each other and learn the value of different cultures and how they contributed to our nations well being.

These books will help my students develop important social skills and allow them to appreciate their differences.

We will read books, work cooperatively with one another and build an appreciation for literacy and build a sense of community not only with one another but with other people they encounter in our school and community.
