My Project

My class is full of different abilities and the hands-on learning has never been more important. I have the honor of teaching students who have complete blindness and need a variety of activities that include their other senses.

Picture this, a kid sized table filled with activities that are explorative and engaging for all types of learners.

A chance to socialize, dig in the sand while making lasting memories with their peers. Just when you think they are getting the wiggles, kids can be explore the tunnel of fun. All kids having fun with no limits.
