My Project

Help me give my high-needs special education students some hands-on science activities! Live activities with books and models help them learn and understand! These activities will reach so many different senses!

My students love hands-on activities to help them learn!

They will love to watch the change from caterpillar to butterfly and egg to baby chick! These hands-on, real-life lessons are the best way to teach these kids! When we add some books and models—and maybe a good video—these kids will be soaring with their learning!

Ms. Laferriere
Grades 6-8
