My Project

The materials that I have selected will provide my students with the needed materials to help them learn and become independent students, some of the materials that I have selected will help some my EC students with sensory sensitivity. Other materials selected are materials that are needed to start off the school year with family engagement and open communication with teachers and parents via the take home folders that I selected. Writing materials will provide my students with the skills to begin writing their names and other writing skills throughout the school year.
