My Project

Our school district has a very large demographic of special needs students. However, we are one of the lowest government funded school districts in Colorado.

We have a large number of military families in our particular school and need a great deal of social emotional support for our students.

Additionally, with families moving in and out we have a variety of learning styles that require a variety of ways to learn core skills.

Since COVID our students have missed out on the fun of learning and need support in making it fun again with educational games, manipulatives to learn core concepts, and creative learning activities.
