My Project

With a class text set, students will be able to have better access to the curriculum both at school and when remote. The best way to help my special education students is by giving them the tools the need to be successful- nothing can replace the physical book.

These books will allow students to have their own copy for class & home use instead of relying only on the audio version & following along online as they are read to; students need their own copies, the physical presence of a book is important and necessary for comprehension, connection, and appreciation of the text.

My students also rely on anchor charts to help them recall information and previously learned concepts. My walls (and my students) need help! These tools allow immediate access to students when they need a reference and refresher. The water bottles will help reduce waste and help students, families, and the school by reducing the use/ purchasing of disposable water bottles.
