My Project

For students with special needs, learning is not always a linear path, and traditional methods don’t always work. Having access to engaging, adaptable resources like books and games will give my students the chance to learn at their own pace and in a way that best supports their individual needs.

The books will help reinforce literacy skills, with options available at different reading levels to ensure all students feel confident and excited to read.

The interactive games will support both academic learning and important social skills like taking turns, teamwork, and building friendships.

Your donation will help foster a love for learning, give my students the tools they need to succeed, and make our classroom a more inclusive and joyful place. Thank you for considering supporting my students on their educational journey!
