My Project

As a Special Education teacher, reading games and math manipulatives will help all 23 students on my caseload progress in math and reading this year. Hands-on learning is he most effective way for students to learn and remember. I have also included social skills lesson and fidgets and incentives to go along with these lessons. Social skills is ever important to a child's learning and understanding of the world.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many gaps in learning occurred.

Games, manipulatives, direct instruction in social skills, and incentives help to close this learning gap.
