My Project

My students are all special needs students who have spent the last year adjusting from the pandemic. They have been resilient and flexible in regards to returning to on campus learning. My goal is to ensure we end this year or begin the next year with a bang!

Students need to connect with each other through play, and discovery.

My goal is to provide the materials to encourage that connection without the intervention of a computer program. We are seeing more and more of a need for that 1:1 face-to-face connection especially in the special education realm. I hope to give these to my students to continue to develop social emotional skills, and relationships that can last a lifetime!
