My Project

The toys, fidgets, puzzles and other items I have chosen will help students be able to work independently, with a teacher, with another person, or with a group. This will build confidence and social skills, as well as, help with their understanding of basic learning skills that they need. Many of my students do not know their alphabet or how to count the ability to tie shoes and use daily functional items would be wonderful. Also, this would help my students be more prepared for life as they get older. This would be an amazing chance for my students.
