My Project

Our school has over 16 different languages spoken, and 74% of the students are at risk of educational failure. I work with students who have challenges with expressing their emotions appropriately. Students in my program do not learn through traditional teaching methods. Their materials need to be engaging and offer my students spatial awareness to stay on task. My students are eager to learn. I just need materials to help them. My students face a variety of learning and behavioral challenges every day. They have diverse learning skills and needs. I am requesting a 4-way sensory bin and their corresponding tops. These materials are essentials to my students' learning in my classroom. My students often struggle with language and literacy skills in my classroom. Since the pandemic hit our school and community, my students are at more of a risk for educational failure. The trauma and outpouring of help are critical during this time of rebuilding. My students will need extra support to build language and literacy skills.

My students will be able to build letters, build language, build structures, conversations, and friendships.

I work in a Title I school. I work with students who are "at-risk" for educational failure. Often times my families do not have resources for the students.

The donation of this project will help my students stay engaged and focused on reading and building their skills.

Imagine thousands of children coming to school that does not know what the letter A looks like. How are they supposed to succeed in our society when they lack the basic knowledge of letters, sounds, and communication especially now after pandemics hit our area. Literacy in America is a struggle. Funding this project will help my students stay focused and eager to learn.
