My Project

My students are each unique, like a puzzle I need to solve. They all have severe special needs and need specific, hands-on learning materials to achieve growth in all areas, especially literacy and math. Many of my students love learning through puzzles and educational toys.

When I make it fun and engaging, they tune in and start to make the necessary connections for growth.

Each of these materials I picked out especially for specific students in mind. Give them the materials they needs to grow and have fun by learning through play!
