My Project

I am in search of unique supplies/tools to provide my students tools needed.

I deal with special needs preschool students whose needs vary based on their educational plan.

As a fairly new teacher, I have a few items that help me get by but they are starting to wear and tear. Having these items can provide the organization of the current library as well as in the student centers.

Other Items will make visual schedules and personal schedules. Others will help make first and then books and arts and crafts activities that have the benefits of fine motor activities.
