Curriculum and Materials to Make It

Help me give my students the next few units and materials for the Made for Me Literacy Curriculum, for students with special needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Grahn's classroom raised $584

This project is fully funded

My Project

For this project, I am asking for a gift card to Teachers Pay Teachers, in order to purchase the Made for Me Literacy Curriculum units, made especially for students with special needs. It is engaging, and fun, and my students truly enjoy the lessons.

In addition to the gift card, I am asking for card stock, laminating sheets, and velcro to help create the materials in the digital units purchased through Teachers Pay Teachers.

Finally, I am asking for some materials for the sensory activities included with each unit. In particular, I am asking for the materials for our next unit, on Spring Animals. We will be making sensory bags with pond animals, using ziplock bags, hair gel, little toys, and duct tape, and exploring in water beads.
