My Project

My students are determined and eager to learn. The hands-on manipulatives are engaging and fun. Many of my students require visual and tactile activities to remain focused and engaged in learning. The number and letter clips encourage fine motor development while solidifying number sense knowledge and phonics. The reading Essentials toolkit is full of manipulatives for encoding and decoding lessons. The additional manipulatives will be used in both reading and math.

I want to inspire my students to be happy, independent, and confident students.

My young learners are in kindergarten and second grade. I teach students with dyslexia, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, emotional disabilities, and students who require intervention and support. Thank you for supporting my young learners!
