My Project

These items will benefit my special needs students’ learning by giving them the opportunity to use differentiated materials to help support their learning in phonemic awareness, sentence building, CVC recognition and decoding words, calming strategies and self awareness, number awareness and manipulation.

All items will be used on a daily basis to help support their learning through independent and group center work.

Students will be given the opportunity to select which tool they would like to use while at the center to help further their learning.

The skills that each student gains from interacting with these educational learning activities will progress throughout the year by practicing each and every day within the classroom.

I can’t wait to see the smiling faces on my students! They are so special in so many ways because each of their learning styles are different and share their knowledge through many forms of communication.
