My Project

As a special education teacher, I am so excited to support some amazing first graders next school year! Many of my students need support to be successful in their regular education environment. Our goal is to promote inclusion and many of these items help our kids with high needs stay in the classroom with their same age peers! This project has many regulating activities that these students can use to be ready to learn. There is also a kidney table and stools so I can have a space for them to work with me in their classroom! I am so excited to continue to watch these wonderful kids grow!!
