My Project

I work in a multi-level special education classroom. My list is full of manipulatives, learning games, and rewards for working hard. I am a new teacher with a new room and my kids love to learn through play.

Each of my students are unique and the tools on my list will help them learn and grow not only academically, but, also socially and emotionally.

Games and toys will be used to encourage sharing and patience along with counting and decision making. Play-Doh and other crafts help with building fine motor skills and developing imagination.
