My Project

I am super excited about this year it is my first year with elementary scholars with intellectual disabilities. These items will prepare the classroom atmosphere with bright welcoming colors and prep lessons that follow their curriculum and get to know my new scholars. The items in this project will safe lessons for scholars to reuse and brighten their day by coming into a brightly colored warm classroom

These scholars are in 3rd through 5th grade and are totally dependent on the staff to give a safe inviting learning space with snacks to help them focus.

The item chosen would be the foundation for preparing and organizing a great classroom environment for my student with intellectual disability to help direct them on the path of learning with an open mind and a bright future.
