My Project

I am a Special Education teacher for students in Kindergarten through fifth grade. My students love to learn. My students learn best in a small group setting that is calming and organized.

Many students need specially designed instruction to help them succeed.

Setting up my classroom to help them be successful is so important.

My space is often a place for students to take a break or get some individual help. Students love sensory toys and calming strategies so having some items in the classroom makes it an inviting space.
