My Project

I teach at two different schools and have about 20 Special Education students. These students range from kindergarten through 5th grade. We do play based Art where students finish a project and then are allowed to play after. I could use some more resources and educational toys. These help students to gain fine motor skills and they really enjoy them. They really enjoy being able to have a bit of free time with these toys after they finish their work. Please consider helping my Special Education students have some extra resources in the Art room!
