Funded Oct 24, 2021The students in my class all have special needs. I wanted to make sure after returning to the classroom from virtual learning that they were comfortable while learning. The students love the exercise ball chairs. I've seen so many of them focus better because they can bounce or wobble, simply move while doing their work. They don't make noise and they aren't distracting others who are working next to them.
Since I teach in a school which is made up of predominately students of color, I thought it would be a great idea to get some books with characters who look like them. They absolutely love them! I've gotten so many requests to purchase more! What's even better, some of the students who don't know much about African American culture or Hispanic culture have enjoyed learning by reading the books. Some of the girls are a little bit more confident because they are reading and seeing pictures of characters who have hair like them or the same skin tone. It is exciting!
Thank you so much for all of the amazing products for my classroom. My students truly appreciate it as much as I do!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Fortenberry
