My Project

These items will help keep my students organized and learning as the year goes on. Being able to take a sensory break as needed is vital for these very vulnerable learners. I have always been a huge proponent of play-based learning for all ages and abilities of students and the items in this project will help me make those lessons a possibility.

Lesson materials students can work with individually, to reinforce newly learned standards help ensure the learning becomes permanent and builds confidence in the learner.

Any help is appreciated.

Mrs. Bufton
Grades 3-5
