My Project

A big part of learning is having an organized learning environment. Research shows that learning happens best when the student and their environment is cohesive for learning. Organization helps your mind to be free and clear to focus on the task at hand.

Everything has a place, is a phrase I use when I am working on speech activities that challenge my students while working on story elements and placing things in order.

This cubby storage unit will reinforce this as I will incorporate the cubby storage unit into out therapy sessions.
