My Project

I am hoping to bring items into my classroom that each student will enjoy. I have many students with disabilities and many students with behaviors. I want to provide a fun and safe environment.

They each have their own individual needs and personalities.

I want them to be able to show their unique selves and own creativity in everything they do. A lot of my students come from impoverished families and do not get to experience things that other children might. I want them to feel at home and that their individual needs are met.
