My Project

Students will use art materials for hands on learning. They will create animal biomes, the solar system and more! I teach a group of special needs students who do better with hands on opportunities versus worksheets. Students will be able to use white boards and markers to design the projects.

I am excited to help them grow and learn all while being able to Maintain their focus.

My students will use the fidgets to help them through out the day. Some students need to fidget in order to stay focused or to take a small break.
