My Project

I am a special education teacher in a third grade integrated co-teaching class where there are special education students learning alongside general education students. Our school consists of culturally and linguistically diverse students within a low socioeconomic community.

My goal is to set up a classroom that is inviting, encouraging and inviting so students can be excited to be back and to learn!

This past year has been a challenging one playing academic catch with students. September will be here before we know it and I need to start planning NOW to be ready to start off the year with with a bang!

Bulletin board paper, blackboard paper and borders would enable me to create such an inviting and colorful classroom environment. Supplies such as name tags and adhesive pockets would enable me to leave a daily message and make each student feel special! All these supplies would help me get the year off to a great start and keep it going great throughout the year!

These kiddos deserve it! Thank you in advance for helping me do so!
