My Project

Our class demographics get more and more diverse every school year. To be prepared for this incoming one, I plan to replenish some old materials and on with the new, especially with resources that would best benefit students who might (or currently) have special needs.

Students with learning, emotional, and/or attention needs will require various ways to communicate their learning.

I would love to give them (and the whole class) access to manipulatives like interactive games for literacy or math.

We’ll need the visual incentive jar for behavior management, and visuals for potty training schedules and if-then graphics to help students understand what is expected of them. I also plan to have an inviting classroom with new borders for spaces allocated for their class work, new class rule posters, and some first day/week of school resources to welcome them for the new school year ahead! I hope that with your help and generosity, my new class will definitely enjoy learning in the wonderful world of kindergarten!
