My Project

I want to incorporate more hands-on opportunities for my kiddos. Science should be fun, so I would love for them to see and experience the life cycle of a butterfly and to interact with a worm compost bin. The worm-compost bin will be the first element of our sensory garden. The printer and ink would be useful to have to make the different colored signage and communication needed for my students who need visuals. The laminating sheets will also help to make the signage and communication cues we need for the students. I also would love little models so students can work on their fine motor skills using different tools they might interact with in life, along with different buttons and fasteners.
