My Project

My name is Natalie Gaines and I have been teaching Special Education for 7 years! I am so excited to meet my new special needs pre school students in the upcoming school year! We have a lot planned already to help them explore and progress is all areas of needs. I am needing your help with providing my students with a safe and comfortable place to explore pictures books, or just an area to relax! This reading nook will help my students by gaining their attention and interest to explore reading materials independently while providing a calming area to decompress.
