My Project

I always want to ensure that my special education students come into a positive and loving learning environment with resources that will help them reach their fullest potential.

My students' education has been impacted by Covid 19 in a variety of ways.

These literacy resources and materials will help my students improve their education in the classroom. These literacy centers and activities will impact their education as well as improve their reading and fluency skills. The children will begin to recognize letters and sounds, sight words, CVC words, and various other skills by using these literacy centers.

These resources will assist in developing the student's abilities to communicate and verbalize their needs more effectively in the future.
