My Project

I need items to use for sensory breaks. Those tables will help motivate my students to want to do their work.

I need the laminator for helping make books for students to use to speak from.

I have students that can't sit still and wobble stools will help them be able to pay attention.

I have a light table and need learning tools for the students to access. This can be such a great way to get them excited about learning

I am so excited to use all of these tools with my students.
