My Students

My name is Gina Spreadbury. I am currently a primary special education. I service students in grades k-2. The students I service have a wide range of academic abilities. Therefore, my instruction requires me to obtain supplies from various grade levels. Since I have began this school year, I have noticed many of my students need explicit and multisensory instruction in reading and math. I am hoping to implement an intensive reading and math program for my students. Reading skills carry throughout all subject areas including math, science, and writing .Thank you for taking the time to look at my page! My students would appreciate any donation.

My Project

These materials will help reinforce my students reading, writing and math skills through a hands on approach and real world experience.These materials will give multi sensory opportunities and make their math and reading time come alive.

The tactile sand paper letter tiles provide not only a hands on approach, but a fun and engaging way to learn.

Students love learning math with manipulatives and real world applications such as grocery shopping and menus. Students love to share their learning when they are confident in what they have accomplished. Help me to give my students a fun and motivating experience of learning.
