My Project

My classes are mixed ability students that needs support in many ways.

Some students need thick pencils to aid in forming letters properly.

Others need pencils to complete mandatory class assignments. They need privacy boards, ruled sheets, and books to write notes and complete class projects. Some work needs to be laminated to keep either as examples or for the student to protect and keep for further reference. The stamps are intended to encourage students to stay on task and learn the lesson at hand.

It is such a beauty to see the changes taking place in the lives of students as they intently work on Social Studies projects relating to mostly history with added tasks such as Black History Month at this point.

The possibilities are endless and it is essential that we do what we can to ensure they are given the opportunity to achieve goals that would otherwise seem elusive.
