My Project

Dear Donors,

Thank you for supporting my amazing students and their learning journey!

The Science magazines, STEM materials, and floor puzzles I am requesting will provide hands-on, engaging experiences that make learning more interactive and accessible. Many of my students are non-verbal and learn best through visual and tactile exploration. The Science magazines will expose them to new concepts in an engaging, picture-rich format, while the STEM materials will allow them to build, experiment, and problem-solve in a way that supports their critical thinking skills. The floor puzzles will help develop their spatial awareness, fine motor skills, and teamwork as they collaborate to complete tasks. These resources will create a more inclusive and stimulating learning environment tailored to their unique needs.

My goal for this project is to foster curiosity, communication, and independence in my students. By incorporating these materials into our daily lessons, I hope to encourage exploration, hands-on learning, and social interaction. Whether they are working together to solve a puzzle, building a simple machine, or engaging with a science magazine, these resources will give them the opportunity to learn in a way that is meaningful and enjoyable for them.

What makes my students truly special is their unique ways of seeing and interacting with the world. Every achievement, no matter how small, is a huge victory, and their excitement when they learn something new is priceless. They are eager, capable learners who thrive when given the right tools and opportunities. Your generosity will help create those opportunities, allowing my students to reach their full potential. Thank you for believing in them and making a lasting impact on their education!

With gratitude,

Ms. Michelle
