My Project

I love working with my students. I work with children with autism. They are amazing but they learn a little differently. I am in need of some good strong hands on curriculum to fill the holes of my current curriculum. The literacy games and activities I asked for will help do this for my students. I have some students that need their materials to be modified so that they can use them successfully.

Empty bellies make it hard to concentrate.

I usually buy snacks for my student but a little help with snacks would be great.

With the language and literacy items I selected, I will be able to work with smaller groups to maximize their learning.

The games I ordered will help with social skills and turn taking.
