My Project

My special education students try their best everyday. They come in with a smile on their face. They love to please the teacher and our paraprofessionals with their accomplishments. Their sweet, funny and some of the nicest children you would ever want to meet.

It is that time of year, where I have now gotten to know my students well and understand their learning style and their strengths and weaknesses.

The Teacher Pay Teacher gift cards will help me to individualize that instruction. It is my go to resource when a student is struggling or needs extra help mastering a concept. It allows me to hone in on the skills that they need help with. With the gift cards, the laminating sheets and the velcro, I'll be able to make personalized manipulatives for them to use and practice until they master that concept.

I truly want my students to be able to work and learn to their potential. These items will allow me to do that and will be an asset to my classroom.
