My Project

The resources I'm requesting, including a caddy for small group activities, a rollable whiteboard, a dedicated desk with a projector, folders for organized papers, a filing system, headphones for personalized instruction, personal whiteboards, markers, and chair bands, will greatly benefit my students with IEPs.

These items will provide a more interactive and engaging classroom environment, allowing students to actively participate and focus on their learning.

With the caddy, small group activities can be facilitated smoothly, enhancing collaboration and critical thinking skills.

My goal for this project is to create a nurturing and inclusive classroom setting that supports individualized learning needs, promotes organization, and reduces distractions.

What makes my students special is their unique abilities and challenges. Each student with an IEP requires different approaches to learning and benefit from personalized instruction. By providing the requested resources, I can cater to their specific needs, helping them thrive academically and emotionally.
