My Project

My students will need the sensory toys to make learning fun and easy. My special education students learns best with touching and playing with something tangible. This special toys will help them engage and will allow them to interact with other students to making learning more engaging and meaningful. The cleaning supplies (wipes and spray) will keep our classroom clean and keeping my students from getting sick. The school supplies for everyday use will help them complete daily classroom activities.

Having the appropriate materials in the classroom makes them want to go to school everyday to learn and have fun with other students.
