My Project
My students are wonderful and even better when they work together on projects. The sand and sand toys are a great hands on experience where they can be creative while chatting with each other. The cooperative board games, balls, and cards engage fun and communication. The dry erase paddles and markers can help students share words and pictures quickly.
My goal is to provide as many opportunities for communication and collaboration for my students.
These resources are excellent ways to bridge these skills in a fun way. Thank you for considering my request.
