My Project

I am fortunate to teach an incredible group of 3rd-grade students in a self-contained special education class. Each student brings unique strengths, and we work together every day to create a supportive, engaging, and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. My students are bright, creative, and eager to learn, but they also face challenges that require personalized instruction and tools tailored to their individual needs.

To further enhance their learning experience, I am requesting these items that will significantly improve how they engage with technology and the curriculum.

One essential tool we need is quality headphones. Many of my students benefit from auditory learning and need headphones to access educational apps and programs that support their reading, math, and comprehension skills. These headphones will help reduce distractions, allowing them to focus on their work and learn at their own pace.

Items such as iPads and stylus' will make a profound difference in my students' educational experience. With the right resources, like headphones and other tech tools, my students can access individualized learning programs, build essential skills, and gain the confidence they need to succeed. Your generous support will make this possible, helping to close the technology gap and ensure that all my students can reach their full potential.
