My Project

I am an extensive support needs 2nd - 6th grade teacher. I have a range of kiddos with amazing abilities who need a variety of support to be successful.

These kiddos learn in unique ways that require special equipment and an organized environment.

The items in this project will help the learning environment be productive and help meet their IEP goals. My goal as an educator is to foster a happy and productive learning environment.

The bookholders organize the activities for each day/student, and the carts organize the materials for future activities. The laminator is to prep the materials for the students, fidgets for sensory play, games to use during worktimes, light overs to help with the sensory overload with the lights, and headphones for using during independent work time. The wall hooks for organizing the charts needed to teach as well as the pouches to organize the materials.
