My Project

I am a special education teacher that works with students that have a variety of disabilities or are gifted. My students represent every aspect of our school. My classroom simply needs a few things to help my diverse group express themselves in very different ways.

My students with disabilities need headphones so they can interact with the math programs that they are mandated to interact with and express their math skills.

My gifted students have written the most amazing poems! I want to further that expression by printing and framing them.
