My Project

In my classroom, I have the privilege of working with incredible students who have unique learning needs. They are eager, determined, and capable, but they require specialized tools to help them thrive. My students benefit from hands-on learning, visual supports, and adaptive materials that cater to their diverse abilities.

Many of my students need individualized academic resources to support their success in reading, writing, and math.

This project will provide essential supplies such as: Math manipulatives (tactile learning kits), Literacy supports, (phonics kits), Sensory-friendly materials (plastic bags to store putty), and Adaptive Tool (chisel tip markers). These tools will help my students stay engaged, build confidence, and access the curriculum in ways that meet their individual needs.

Your support will ensure that every child in my class has the opportunity to reach their full potential in an inclusive and supportive learning environment.

Thank you for believing in my students and making a difference in their education!
