My Project

Our classroom is a special education DC (Developmental Center) Pre School room. We have ten students ages three through five, who have multiple disabilities. This past school year our students have been learning about farms and animals. I have chosen some exciting learning toys that will go with our farm theme as we get into spring time. These learning toys are designed to help students gain important skills, that will help make learning fun and exciting while teaching important every day skills and strengthen fine motor skills to help our students. We also use a lot of lamination sheets for our classroom visuals, learning games and other important resources.
