My Project

I love that my students get hands on learning! I also that they communicate in their own unique way! We strive to make sure their voices are heard! The switches and iPad will be the most useful thing because that will allow our students to make their voices heard. We adapt and modify most curriculums to meet their needs to we are always needing laminating sheets. The other resources would be good to use in the classroom as it will create a sensory approach to learning and curve behaviors. Our students are K-5th graders so they are still needing the most basic life skills.
