My Students

My 6th grade Social Studies students all have special needs. Throughout my five classes and 40 students are a variety of disabilities and abilities.

My students are struggling to stay organized due to the confusion of a new school-year setup.

Rather than having them take notes lecture-style, I have my students filling in blanks to keep their attention and meet their needs.

Having the necessary materials will allow me to create the most effective learning environment for my students.
