My Project

This project will continue to increase students' success with reading and writing. Students will have more materials to read and use as they master basic reading skills. Students learning and use of the material will be reinforced by the use of chart paper and seating with movement.

Students will be able to use these materials to work on their fine motor skills and ability to focus which will directly impact their ability to learn.

My students are unique and capable of so much when given some tools. These tools will support them with academic skills and coping with inattention.
