My Project

I am currently teaching 12:1:1 and all of my students are visual learners. These supplies will help me to make visual aids for my students. My class doesn’t has a white board and a white board is desperately need when am doing my groupings so they can see and visualized what am doing. The writings tools are also need for writing purposes. I print a lot of visual aid for my students , therefore they will definitely benefit from the printing papers. My art center is not set up because I don’t have enough supply to put in it . The seats will help my students stay in their personal space during whole group instructions on the rug. Thank you very much for your help .
