My Project

My students are amazing! They are working on a variety of skills, such as; basic academic skills, communication skills, social skills, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and vocational skills.

The materials I requested will help my students work on counting, sorting and identifying colors, and identifying coins.

The materials will also help my students with letter identification and learning the value of money. During the day, I am teaching my students how to rotate throughout different groups, and these materials would be perfect for centers during these group rotation times!
