My Project

Although I have not yet met my students, I do know that they deserve access to materials that will lead them to success. I am carrying on the little spot series to keep consistency from the previous special Ed teacher. My goal as a teacher is to put my students needs first, as I am a believer that students cannot learn unless they are emotionally regulated!

Students respond well to the little spots, and I will make reading and learning hands on using supplemental materials and the little spot stuffed characters!

My goals for this project are to see progress during the year as my students learn to regulate themselves and refer back to the little spots
