My Project

I am a K-2 special education teacher! These tools will help me and the students I serve with their reading and writing goals! These items will also be important tools for me to stay organized and make lots of cool manipulatives the students can use over and over! They will help me to keep on top of IEP’sThese are just a few items that I am in need of!

Thank you for looking at my project!

Thank you for considering to donate! Oh, the students absolutely love flair pens, and they are a great incentive to use during writing!
