My Project

I have a great group of learners in my speech groups! I am supporting students in a variety of ways this school year - including within the classroom environment!

We do many hands-on learning activities within the classroom with my cross-categorical special education students.

I would love to supply my students with their own pencil pouches with individual supplies (including glue sticks, markers, scissors, and a mechanical pencil) for language lessons and language stations within the classroom.

Additionally, I would like to provide students with reusable and durable visual aids and materials with the purchase of velcro dots, laminating sheets, glue dots, and a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card. The items within this project are versatile, reusable, and may be a part of my classroom for many years to come.
