My Project

I teach Special Education Students. The organization is key for these students and binders will really help with this. Many of our students are mainstreamed and come in for help on different projects they are doing in their classrooms.

The colored pencils will be used on many of their projects.

Some of our students have sensory issues and the "Ear Muffs" will help them concentrate, while buffering the loudness of the classrooms. Whiteboards will be used both in the special education room and the regular classrooms. The sheet protectors are used to save important classroom assignments and other items.

Graham crackers will be used as a snack if students are hungry. Many of our students come from low-income homes and need a little "pick up" when completing academic assignments. My students have a variety of challenges these materials will help them organize, get assignments completed and make their school days happier.
