My Project

I love to make their individual work personalized to their needs. I have 8 wonderful special students who need help by using manipulatives and pasting using activities with velcro so it is easier for them to use it because most of my students annot express their feelings well and their fine motor skills are still developing.

I love to make their activities/materials printed in color and laminated for lasting use and for them to master the skill by doing it repeatedly.

With this project, I will be able to provide them with the activities they need based on their level.

If I have all materials ready inside my classroom I will no longer need to print outside my classroom which takes time because the workroom is a little far from my room.
