Back to Basics: School Supplies for Special Needs

Help me give my students the tools they need to be engaged and participate everyday! Kids love to write with markers - the way the ink glides on the smooth board helps those with sensory differences too.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Soh's classroom raised $177

My Project

These supplies are the basics my students with special needs must have in the classroom to be engaged and participating. All the products will be used wisely, and I make it a point to share with the kids that generous people donated to them personally because they care about their education!

Because the majority of my students have a learning disability, they need different modalities to reinforce their learning.

Dry erase markers and boards are used in math small groups to show their work, as well as in ELA for writing new vocabulary words, spelling, and phonics. The ticket holders do a double duty in that they can be used for writing on as well as for displaying students' writing pieces, art, and vocabulary words inside the classroom and on the bulletin board in the hallways. The pouches are nice to personalize and to keep track of their new supplies in one "home." Thank you for your support in caring for our students.
