My Students

Our sets of dictionaries and thesauruses were so worn and outdated that they had to be discarded. These resource materials are greatly needed basic tools that are used to improve my student's writing skills.

I have a self-contained classroom of children with learning differences who receive special education services because they have difficulty accessing and progressing in the general education curriculum.

They need multi-sensory resources to help them reach their individual education plan goals.

My Project

My goal is to help each of my children feel successful in baby steps. Many of them have experienced repeated failure in comparison to typical peers. They are also required to take the same standardized tests as their typical peers which sets them up for low self-esteem and just giving up without trying. I need to provide them with basic skills in order to help them feel that they can be successful. Having needed materials will encourage them to be risk takers with their writing and know that they can overcome their perceptions of their abilities.

Please consider this donation for our classroom.

They will be used on a daily basis throughout our day as we expand our vocabulary, develop our writing, and attempt to improve our testing scores.
