My Project

Special education comes with special unique learners. Our students work hard everyday in class regardless of the obstacles that may come their way. We love that our students strive to show their greatness each and every day. One thing our students love to do the most is read. During their brain breaks, most of our students chose to curl up in our cozy corner and either read to themselves or read to each other. We would love to expand our library so that our students can increase their reading abilities.

We always want to give our students the opportunity to learn in a unique way.

Most of our students are visual and kinesthetic learners. These materials have been chosen specifically for our students to help them improve their reading and math. Thank you.
