My Project

My students need crayons, colored pencils, and materials for creating projects because that stimulates creativity and enables them to express themselves visually. These tools are essential for art projects, sight word projects, and fine motor skills development.

Additionally, hands-on materialsfor STEAM educational activities are cruicial for fostering pr oblem solving skills and allow students to apply newly gained concepts.

Utilizing a classroom positive behavior program supports appropriate student behaviors. Appropriate behaviors are modeled in the classroom for students. The students then earn rewards as they apply the new social skills concepts. Students will have choices for their prizes!
