My Project

It’s that time of year again, back to school. Each year gets better and better and working with special education students can be a challenge for the teacher and the students but we are coming prepared. So let’s start this year ready and motivated. There are times when working with this populations can be hard but not having supplies should not be a challenge. I want everything ready when they walk through those doors on the first day. I got everything from pens, pencils, and more. I even got a laminator to laminate our writing paper so when can practice our signature daily without wasting our paper. This year will come with some ups and downs but all in all it’s going to be great. So, 2024/2025 here we come!
