My Project

Hi everyone! This year will be my fourth year teaching. I have taught my first three years of preschool in an inclusion classroom(general education and special education together). This year I will be a preschool teacher of students with disabilities. I will need a lot of new materials and educational resources for classroom. My goal is to make my classroom an inviting, accepting, safe environment for all of my students individual needs. As we all know teachers spend a lot of their own money buying materials for their students. I have never made a wishlist and any contributions small or large will be very much appreciated. Thank you for your kindness.
