My Project

My new Sped Kindergarten class is full of these vibrant learners. They are so eager to learn and grow! They give this exciting energy that lights up my classroom everyday!

My students inspire me to go the extra mile and give them the best education.

In order to give them a great education, a classroom easel is the most essential material. The easel will allow me to have story time, model curriculum, enhance class participation, and incorporate peer interaction. All the materials I requested are also essential for center work.
