My Project

I teach K-2 self-contained students with special needs. We use the Made for Me Literacy Curriculum on TeachersPayTeachers, and my students absolutely love the hands on activities, the colorful arts and crafts projects, and especially the sensory recipes. Every activity, and anchor chart is printed, cut, laminated, and put together with velcro or magnetic tape, or a combination of both. These materials will allow me to continue making the materials that help my students engage in learning.

My students excitedly ask me to take their picture when they complete their projects, anchor charts, file folder activities, etc.

I love how excited they are about the work that they do.

When my students are not working hard on their curriculum activities, they love to play pretend with fake food. I would love to reward them with some new pieces of play food.
