My Students

My students have a thirst for knowledge, smiles that light up any room, and they celebrate each new skill. My students also have a wide range of identified needs such as learning delays, developmental delays, Autism, and physical impairments.

You can help level the playing field for special needs students.

Special needs students deserve a great education and this is what I strive to provide every day, but sometimes I need help. When that happens, I turn to you and Donors Choose!

My Project

This project is designed to build the classroom library with books for my special needs early readers. The books have been selected to target literacy levels A-E and will allow my students to pick their "just-right" books. The books will be used in the classroom during independent reading time. The students are also allowed to each select three books to go home each night so they can have "just-right" books at home for nightly reading.

My Special Needs students need more books to engage them in reading and help them to soar in literacy.

This project also includes bins and labels to store and label all the books.
