My Project

Students in my class all have special needs. The more fun, hands on and colorful I can make their assignments the more they learn and grow. These painting supplies(paint and paint brushes) will help keep my kids engaged when we work on letter and number formation. My students love practicing their writing with dry erase markers on the table and the dry erase practice sheets I have.

SLIME-We make it every Friday to build their gross and fine motor skills.

The gallons of glue will help them build dexterity while giving them a multisensory activity. Glue sticks also help them develop motor skills when we do cut and paste work daily.
