My Project

The writing books I am asking for will help simplify the writing process for my special education students. The writing curriculum we currently have is for the general education students and it is too hard for them to understand and the pace too fast. These books will help their reading skills as well, because one talks about the main idea, which will improve their comprehension skills.

Help stop resource students from cheating!

The other selection I made was desk dividers. I have multiple resource students come into my room to take tests. The students all need their tests read and other accommodations, so it is easier to have them in the same area, while the other students are getting a Direct Instruction lesson. Since the students are so close to each other, they could easily look at their neighbor's test and copy their work.
