My Project

All of my students have unique personalities, strengths, likes, dislikes, and needs! I want to support those strengths to the best of my abilities. My students also have unique needs, so I want to meet those needs to the best of my abilities. Whether that means enriching a lesson with teaching tools, connecting lessons to the real world with toys or games, challenging growing brains with puzzles, and or meeting student sensory needs with toys.

In regular education or special education settings, resources are incredibly important in meeting the needs of students!

Students will be able to share in the experience of creating with their hands. They will learn how to build houses, trains or cars. They will be able to explore these new materials and learn to work together! These are great attributes to have especially in the art room!
