FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mancuso's classroom raised $155

My Students
My students from the Bronx are part of a District 75 Elementary School Program for children with special needs. My students are inquisitive, energetic, and are in great need of a new classroom library to help build a love for reading!
Each of my students have individual learning styles and require various sensory supports.
But the one thing they have in common is that they love interactive story time in class. My goal this year is to teach them to read.
My Project
This Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will be used to purchase daily finished visual schedules and several adapted books. These resources will help my students follow individual work schedules and help me adapt several stories. When adapting books with visual supports my students are motivated to participate in read aloud. These adaptations will help me focus on academic vocabulary which will help increase their language and increase reading sight words. My students will love getting their hands on these adapted books. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
