Funded Aug 16, 2022Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you all. Thank you so much for donating to my cause, and making my first year a bit less stressful (and more engaging) for everyone. My students loved the boxes for their math manipulatives, and we use them every day. This has helped us be more tidy and clean around the classroom. Having a classroom full of boys this is something has has helped with the tidiness within the classroom.
My students also love that they have the ability to see the schedule within the classroom. This lets me, as the teacher, instruct without many questions of "what are we doing next?" The students can see what is coming up next and just look at the schedule. As a special education teacher having a routine and a schedule that does not change is huge, and leads to less behaviors. However, when we have behaviors and students need a break, they can come in relaxed and know exactly what we are doing.
Once again, thanks to everyone who contributed. As a new teacher, I did not know what I needed and what direction my classroom was going to take. You all have made my time a little less stressful, and let me get to doing what I love-- which is teaching!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Guzman
