My Project

I would like to thank you for contributing towards helping my students grow and learn within the classroom. The resources provided are extremely helpful towards their academics and their social skills. These resources also provide organization, which in turn, creates a structured functioning classroom.

Students can get caught up in making mistakes, worrying about being wrong or feeling judged.

Having whiteboards and markers helps the students realize mistakes happen and can be easily fixed.
