My Project

Help me provide my students with disabilities the tools they need to succeed and grow. The laminating sheets will help me to create unique materials to help with their social-emotional, language, and behavioral development.

The peanut ball will be a great addition to the classroom to help my students who have difficulties with calming down, giving them a source to relieve their frustration and cater to their sensory needs.

The puzzles and art supplies will assist the students with their creativity, critical thinking, and experiences. Thank you for your help to provide my students with the learning experience they need to master their IEP goals.
