Southaven, MS Grades PreK-2

My Project

I am so excited about my first year as a teacher of Special Education and Inclusion! My students often learn the same material as general education classrooms, but often need a little extra help to grasp a concept. OR maybe they just need to learn differently.

By including many different choices when it comes to manipulatives or learning tools, my students will have the opportunity to explore how they learn best!

From counting, to CVC words, to free time...these materials will help make all the difference for some of these students.
