My Project

With 4 new lap desks, paperclips, tape and sensory options for kids with differing abilities, these classroom needs will help me meet the diverse learners I have in my classroom. Classroom seating options are one way students can choose how they learn best. With the lap desks, student can be seated on the floor in pairs, individually, or in small groups so collaborative learning can take place. The tape and paperclips are basic classroom essentials to be used daily. The counting and building items will be used to meet the needs of some of the diverse learners I have in my classroom.
