Bring a Little Structure to my Structured Classroom

Help me give my students the ability to organize with binders, a new laminator and folder organizers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Forbes's classroom raised $305

My Project

Task boxes and individual workstations are a daily part of each of my student's education. All of my students have Autism and are in a structured teaching self-contained classroom. This means they all work on independent IEP (Individual Educational Plan) goals and need individual materials. To make the materials more meaningful and interactive we laminate and make Velcro tasks. They are then stored in visual binders. These products will allow me to create IEP tasks and organizational notebooks to collect data on their IEP goals.

Meaningful data will let me know if my students are making progress.

It will help me make sure that they are learning the way I teach. It will also let me know if I need to present materials differently to help my students make growth in their reading, writing, math, and social skills goals. These materials will support my goal to be a better teacher every day.
