  • Accessible Technology and Adapted Materials

    Funded Aug 16, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donations that funded my project for accessible technology and adapted materials for my students with visual impairments. With your help I was able to purchase a laptop with built in accessibility features and a color printer.

    The laptop is used daily by me and my students. I use the laptop for planning, maintaining data, and adapting and organizing materials. My students use the computer in our sessions to learn touch typing and technology skills. They are beginning computer learners and love learning the commands for shortcuts. Being able to independently use a laptop is so exciting and motivating for my students. Having a color printer at home has been a game changer for me as an itinerant teacher. It helps alleviate so much stress and provides clear and colorful (when needed) documents for my students.

    I am so lucky to have so many wonderful people in my life who value and support teachers. I appreciate each and every one of you!!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Wade

  • Cool Down Corner

    Funded Apr 10, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom. Our classroom Cool Down Corner is now equipped with awesome supplies that support the students emotional and social needs, as well as engaging their minds.

    In the past, many of our students have had difficulty expressing their emotions in a positive and appropriate manner. The donated items have been incorporated into our classroom positive behavior support plan and have had a positive impact on all of our students. The timer has been a crucial element in signaling transitions for our students. The timer is equipped with both visual and auditory cues that can be detected by all of our students with vision impairments. The kinetic sand acts as a calming technique for many and a sensory center activity for all. By placing letters, numbers, animals, math, manipulatives and asking the students to search for them, they are developing their fine motor skills. When presented with an option to use Legos when frustrated, I have noticed that the students become more in control of their emotions because they are focusing on building.

    As the year progresses, we are going to incorporate using the Legos to improve the students' ability to work in groups with their peers. It has been so beneficial for all of our learners with visual impairments and the culture of our classroom to have these multi-sensory tools to support their emotional and social needs. We are so thankful for all of your support!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Wade

The students in my class face different challenges in their lives that cause frustration, anger, and emotional upset. As a result, academic instruction can often cause my students to feel overwhelmed and frustrated. We are requesting sensory tools and activities for our classroom Cool Down Corner to encourage positive coping skills. It is my goal to enhance the Cool Down Corner in our classroom to help my students develop positive coping strategies for when they are feeling upset, frustrated, angry, overwhelmed, or just need a break. In this area, the students will have access to an assortment of soothing, calming, and/or engaging sensory activities. The students will also be provided with a visual/verbal timer to set an agreed upon time for their break.
