My Project

We are in need of several supplies to finish out this school year. My students have learned some many skills this school year and we are in need of materials to replenish our current lessons. My students currently enjoy sewing and weaving, which helps to increase their fine motor skills.

The students enjoy science and the great outdoors.

They are enjoying learning about various lifecycles and look forward to witnessing the lifecycle of a caterpillar into a butterfly.

We start each day with mindfulness books and activities and the students will be excited to have new books to add to our "Peace Area," that relate to emotions and self-awareness.
