My Students

My students are energetic, fun-loving and hard-working. The students who attend my school have profound physical and cognitive disabilities. The majority of students receive a free or reduced lunch due to lower incomes. Our students want the same opportunities as their typically developing peers.

My Project

My students need colorful bulletin boarder, a calendar, birthday decorations and keep shining bulletin board set. The calendar will be used during morning meeting to teach my students about the days of the week, months of the year, date, weather, holidays, etc. The border will be used to add some color to our classroom. The birthday bulletin set will help me to keep track of student birthdays for paperwork and planning purposes.

The Keep Shining bulletin board set will send a positive message to my students.

My students are amazing and I want them to have the best!
