My Students

My 16 wonderful students are in need of material to help them in their development of learning new skills and concepts. The chance to explore new materials is an amazing way to learn more.

My students are hands-on, actively engaging children who need materials that challenge them to think outside the box.

My Project

My students love creating and building and creating. They love colors and making things so these materials are to help them grow and use their hands to help guide them to their passions. The books are to look at things differently to help explore their imagination and allow them to express their views on the world around them. This also allows them to find other ways to keep their hands busy while they are calm.

The materials that are here are to help my kids build on their interests that we use to connect back to other learning in the classroom.
