My Project

You could be the difference maker in providing special education students the supports they need to be successful! All of these supplies will go towards my special education classes and make learning more accessible for my students. Flexible seating will be used for students who need movement and change. Games will be used in math stations to give students a fun way to access the materials we will study! Fidgets will be used to help students focus! Snacks will be used as rewards. Any help would be much appreciated! These materials can be life changing for students experience in the classroom!
