My Project

My students have different talents and skills. Even though they struggle academically because of their disabilities, most of them tried their best completing assigned tasks given to each of them.

Projects using colored papers, pencils and other school supplies would be helpful for them to be more successful in learning.

Students will create and design their own story book using colored papers. They love to illustrate or draw important events in the story after they read. They like to show their project after completing them in the bulletin board. Most of my students need basic school supplies for everyday use in school and at home.
