My Project

This project will help me support my special education students who are learning one to two grade levels below.

The backpack will allow me to carry essential materials as I move between classrooms or take learning outdoors, ensuring my students always have what they need.

Window covers will create a calm, focused environment, especially important for students who are easily distracted or overstimulated. Sight words will build vital reading skills, and markers will make lessons more engaging and allow students to express their creativity. Together, these resources will help create a safe, supportive, and inspiring space for learning.
