My Project

My students are like little sponges. Giving them new and exciting materials helps keep them excited and engaged in learning.The hands on materials help keep there interest and motivates new learning experiences.The materials help with fine and visual motor skills. One item is for an option for alternative seating which gives an opportunity for movement while participating in seated tasks. The other items give opportunity for hands on experiences. My students love to learn! My students get excited when presented with new learning materials. Thanks for the opportunity to support our future students!
