My Project

I created this project to support social-emotional accommodations and CVC practice to help accelerate learning. This project offers many CVC practices and games for students to have independent learning opportunities. There are also tools for small groups/one-on-one learning with the teacher. In addition, I have added furniture to help support the emotional needs of our students, who require weighted blankets to focus or remain calm.

Moreover, I love that my students are excited about learning various subjects and come to school everyday is bright smiling faces.

They are truly special.
