My Project

Please help me give my students social and personal life skills printable workbooks, science experiments, daily schedule visual board, and A Work Skills Curriculum. I will be working as an intervention specialist in a cross-categorial classroom for grades 6-8 next school year. My students follow a functional academic curriculum to develop skills to become as independent as possible.

Science experiments are a great way for students to learn with interactive hands-on materials.

I am requesting a rock and fossil kit, volcano kit, and crystal growing kit. All of these items will engage students in the subject area of Science. A daily schedule visual board will help my students to know expected behaviors and also what they are supposed to be presently working on (First) followed by what they will be working on next (Then).

The social skills and personal life skills workbooks will be used to teach my students character education. My students will be able to learn various skills that will help them throughout their lives.

Thank you so much for your time and effort. We really appreciate your kindness and willingness to help us out with our project.

Ms. Swierz
Grades 6-8
