My Project

I am a Special Education Teacher who has the most wonderful career working at a Title I school. My students are academically and behaviorally in need of supports to use in the classroom.

My students are the most special kids and would benefit greatly from these items!

They love working for Magna Tiles, and I only have maybe 15 that someone gave me. These would be used as a reinforcer to help them with learning activity completion. Hot Dots are a wonderful way of learning that is fun! Both items use sensory activities to expand thinking and brain activity!

Thank you for your consideration.
