  • Special Education Office Tools!

    Funded Nov 14, 2023

    My students love the shredder and use it and use it as a calm down area when they are struggling to stay on task. Some students utilize a token board and qualify to use the shredder. The kids faces light up when they see the shredder at work. It is truly amazing how such an item makes such an impact in behavioral management.

    The team is also using the laminator to create resource/ learning cards that can be written on and erased with markers. This has been an essential learning tool for students in their full day resource room.

    Thank you so much for these materials.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Thomas

  • Let's Do This Math Peeps

    Funded Oct 25, 2021

    Thank you so much for your donation to our classroom. These calculators as well as rulers have really enabled my students to better understand and learn in my geometry and algebra classrooms.

    My students were having to make calculations manually or pull out their cell phones and often they would become distracted. I teach in a special education classroom and distractions are a major concern with students that struggle in the academic environment. These calculators have allowed students to focus on how to solve a problem and not be tied down by the minutia of simple calculations.

    Anything that we can do to help students stay more on focus receiving instruction increases their chances of being successful in an academic environment. We cannot thank you enough for your support and your donation”

    With gratitude,

These calculators will allow my students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) to work around math deficits that have only been exacerbated during the Covid-19 pandemic. My students are already behind their peers academically due to their learning deficits but these calculators and organization tools will allow them to make up for some of their deficits and increase learning. My students are presently having to manually calculate decimals, multi-digit math operations, fractions, etc. when the use of calculators would allow them to focus on how to solve real world math problems instead of the minutiae of grade school math mechanics. This slow down because of my student's lack of computing abilities bogs down learning and is making the loss of academic time from the pandemic even more profound. Additionally, my students are very unorganized and the binders will allow students to become more organized and enable them to set up interactive notebooks that will help them with their organization of school materials and learn better.
