My Project

My students are learners with dis(abilities) who have their own creative edge. The items selected for this project will help students be able to work on 2 semester projects while being able to see a polished outcome. When my students participate in modified research activities, they will keep a record of what they have completed. At the end, the students will then practice their skills of compiling all worked on information into a booklet in which they can auction at the end of the school year for donations for their own promotional events. My SLL students are special group of students when enjoy creating their own work in great detail. The resources from Teachers Pay Teachers, a laminator, washable paint, laminating pouches, and other items will allow them to see their work come to life.
