My Project

My class is a self-contained classroom meaning that all of the students in my classroom are special education students. One of the best resources I can offer my students is opportunities to have hands on materials for learning.

While we are learning to play we can also play to learn.

The resources included in this project will offer my students the opportunity to play and work on socialization skills as the practice sharing and communicating with others. They will also allow them to practice beginner level skills such as counting and the alphabet.
