My Project

Most of my students this year came in having never been in any educational or social settings before and have little ability to think and create on their own. They do not know how to work on their own and expect us teachers to do for them. They struggle holding materials correctly or even at all!

I want to give them materials that will encourage their desire to want to learn and work with each other.

They need hands-on materials to help build their fine motor skills and ability to think creatively as well as work together collaboratively.

These requested items will enhance what we already have in the classroom to make the learning more fun and engaging. These specific materials will allow the students differentiated ways to create and reach more of my students and their interests.
