My Project

My students are special education students, ranging from Kindergarten to 6th grade. They are a wonderfully diverse group of students in a title 1 school. The needs of my students vary greatly, depending on their goals and objectives. Students come to my space often, multiple times a day, for a variety of academic support.

Sensory materials, and flexible seating, will help engage my students' bodies and minds to be available for learning.

The materials in this project, such as the phonics library, will help to create a more conducive and engaging learning environment. It will also help the variety of learners I teach be able to access curriculum and help make progress towards mastering their goals and objectives.
