My Project

I Teach science in a Comprehensive LifeSkills classroom to students with Diagnosed Special Needs. My students do not always understand the general education science curriculum, it's up to me to create modified science at their individual level. Supplies are hard to come by. I would Love to have a variety of science objects for my students to work with and learn from on a weekly basis. We have a lot of creative ideas that focus on magnetism, art with science, mixtures and compounds, and building, as well as life cycles.

We are SCIENTISTS!!!

We will make ooblek and slime, we will create structures. We will decorate and celebrate holiday traditions. We will paint crafts and curriculum.
