My Project

The items for my class are to best benefit organizing their individual items and to build self-esteem through completion of tasks. The art items are to build confidence and expand their creativity.

My students and special needs varying through differing disabilities.

The use of more hands on activities best accommodate their individual strengths and help to work on improving their weaknesses. The ability to incorporate these items are quite the blessing to my students! Trying to utilize space in the classroom to expand on our art and sensory materials supports the academic growth my students thrive upon. Thank you!

Grades 6-8
