Classroom Essentials and Learning Manipulatives

Help me give my students handwriting tools and hands-on learning manipulatives to help my special education classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Motola's classroom raised $172

My Project

I’m reaching out to request donations for classroom essentials in my second grade, special education classroom. We are in need of learning manipulatives and supplies to help our students thrive and engage in hands-on learning. Items like hands-on sight-word activities, mathematical visual aids, and handwriting tools will make a huge difference in supporting their educational journey; these tools will engage multiple senses and actively involve students in their learning so they will have a deeper understanding of the content material.

These materials will enhance their ability to grasp foundational concepts and build confidence in their abilities.

Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful impact in their daily learning. Your generosity will help provide the tools necessary for success and growth.

Thank you for your consideration and support. It truly makes a difference. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated.
