Contain Yourself: Setting Up Self-Contained Classroom

Funded Dec 6, 2023

I'm thrilled to share the impact your generous donations have had on our classroom. The new instructional materials, including math resources like fractions, decimal, and lines, alongside comprehension practice cards and fluency practice cards for English, have been instrumental in fostering independent learning among our students with mild intellectual disabilities. These resources have provided invaluable support in one-on-one practice sessions, aligning perfectly with their individualized education program (IEP) goals.

The moment our students first encountered these materials was truly memorable. Their eyes lit up with excitement as they eagerly explored the new resources, signaling a renewed sense of enthusiasm for learning. Since then, we've seen remarkable progress, from confident explanations of math concepts using manipulatives to engaging discussions during reading sessions using comprehension practice cards. Moving forward, we are dedicated to further integrating these resources into our curriculum and expanding our literacy program to ensure every student receives the tailored support they need to succeed.”

With gratitude,
