My Project

I am changing content areas after 7 years and need as much help as I can get. I have taught behavior intervention my entire career, and now I am venturing into the realm of content teaching and find myself with nothing that I can use. I am in need of as much help as I can get so that I can fill my classroom and welcome my students in the fall.

I will be teaching special education English for middle school students and am beyond thrilled for this opportunity.

Students will utilize these items in their educational journeys in the English Language.

Students will use the binders, notebooks, notecards, laminating sheets to create projects with their curriculum. Dry erase boards will be utilized to help with learning how to write. Headphones will be used to listen to readings. Giraffe key rings will be a reward for student work. Every class needs decorations, and the posters will provide that. We utilize alternative seating due to ADHD needs, we use alternative teaching practices due to learning disabilities, and we also learn at a slower pace, so we will utilize all these wonderful items.

Thank you for your support!
