My Project

Hi! I am Ms. Davis, and I teach middle school self-contained math and ELA. My job is to prepare students for general education by filling in skills gaps. I provide them with exposure to grade-level content as well to ensure that they have the skills they need when entering high school. My students are dedicated to succeeding, and they amaze me every day!

The biggest hold-up I face is the lack of proper manipulatives to make learning more accessible to my special needs students.

I have purchased some items and acquired some hand-me-downs from retiring teachers. The items I have selected would fill the majority of the math needs to make these skills less abstract, resulting in quicker comprehension of math concepts. I appreciate any assistance you can give me in making this project a reality!
