My Project

How will the specific items you’re requesting make a difference in their learning?

The books will provide diverse and accessible content for different learning needs, the rugs will create a comfortable and organized space, and the decor will foster a welcoming and stimulating environment in our new classroom.

What are your goals for this project?

My goal is to establish an inclusive, engaging learning environment in our new classroom that supports the diverse needs of students with disabilities. By providing books, rugs, and decor, I aim to create a positive and supportive atmosphere from the start.

What makes your students special?

While I have not yet met my students, I am excited to work with them and understand their unique strengths and needs. I believe their diverse abilities and experiences will bring richness to the classroom, and this project aims to support their individual learning journeys right from the beginning.
