My goal for this project, which is LONG overdue, is to acquire supplies and materials to make our transition smooth. Many of these items are usually purchased by me EVERY YEAR; which is challenging for my family to sacrifice. My goal is for learning to be as hands on as possible, which will be an obstacle course this year. Some of these materials are heavily worn out (which is good) and in dire need of replacement. Others are items need to be replenished each year. My students are most successful when they have a variety of hands-on materials that make learning meaningful. My classroom is the smallest regular education room in the building, and therefore I need to be creative in making use of what little space I have. My students and I thank you in advance for your consideration in helping us!
