My Project

I am a middle school special education teacher. I am looking for resources to help my students be stars! I need fun and engaging resources like games, educational activities, books, and manipulatives that will help my students learn and be successful. My goal with games is to improve the students' social skills to improve their turn-taking, patience, and empathy for others. In addition with academic activities like books, educational posters, number line, and large paper the students will have resources to help to understand math concepts, grow reading stamina, and improve writing skills
