My Project

I love working with children who learn in different ways, they own way and time. Each student is different and learns in a unique way. Using hands on manipulative not only keep their attention but also helps them remember the process of the skill.

Using the classroom dividers will allow me to teach each child, at their own pace, while using different learning techniques developed to help with their learning disability .

I have found that giving sensory breaks between learning task is important and the sensory bins will be a great reinforcement for good behavior and educational progress .

Introducing new ideas for learning and new products to the students always helps keep learning fun. Watching my students get excited about learning makes my heart happy.
