My Project
This year, our class theme is “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” I aim to instill in every student the belief that the sky's the limit. I want them to carry this sense of self-worth and potential within them throughout their journey as lifelong learners. As a passionate first-year educator in Special Education, to achieve this, the first step is to create a classroom where every student feels welcome, supported, engaged, and empowered to learn. Your support will provide essential resources to help create a positive and nurturing classroom that will benefit all our students for years to come.
We aim to establish a calming decompression zone within our resource classroom.
This area, complete with a new rug and a class library tailored to our students, will be a peaceful space where students can take breaks, read, and regulate their emotions, helping them return to their work refreshed and focused. Additionally, we need new, functional headphones to replace our outdated ones, which are no longer effective. Quality headphones are vital for individual learning, enabling students (particularly auditory learners) to engage with digital content effectively without distractions. I teach an art-focused mindfulness class with 20 students every Wednesday, and I need more student chairs to accommodate everyone safely and art supplies for students. We also need new storage drawers to keep our classroom organized and ensure students can easily access materials like leveled readers.
Your support will directly impact our students' daily experiences, providing them with the environment and tools they need to continually grow as learners and positive members of their class and school communities. This opportunity will make a significant and lasting difference in our students' lives, enhancing their learning and overall well-being.
