My Project

In the special education world, there are so many different needs and so many different learning styles

The supplies that will be given to my classroom through this project will give every student the proper tools and proper learning environment for them to thrive!

New seating options in a few cozy homey feels well hopefully make this classroom a welcoming place for every student.

Hopefully adding a few snacks to have on hand every day will give my students the full stomach. They need to have a clear mind in a drive to learn.
