My Project

My students are amazing! We work on a variety of skills in my classroom such as; basic academic skills, self-help skills, fine and gross motor skills, and more. Although many of them have difficulties in some or all of these areas, they try their best and don't give up!

The alphabet sounds teaching tubs and other alphabet resources will help my students grasp some phonemic awareness skills, which will aide them as they are starting to learn how to read.

Many of my students learn best through using a variety of materials, so the use of books in addition with hands-on manipulatives will greatly benefit them throughout the year.
