My Project

I am a Special Educator, these supplies will help bridge the gap my scholars have to meet grade level standards. The white boards and graphic organizers will help scaffold the work for my scholars. The daily journals are a grade level below but this will help them fill in the gaps the my scholars have to be able to access the general education curriculum. The sensory toys are for my calm down corner. These toys will be used to help scholars regulate themselves in a not so good time. The laminator is for making materials that help scaffold work.
