Deaf & Hard of Hearing Students Tie Their Shoes Independently

Help me give my students these books that come with activities to help them learn to tie their shoes independently

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Van Manen's classroom raised $309

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am a teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing in a class of 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students. I have 10 students in the classroom, and most of my students still do not know how to tie their shoes independently. These books, activities, and resources will help them to learn to be more independent and gain self-esteem to gain this skill. Please help out our classroom and help our students to be more independent in their lives.

We plan to have the students take the sneaker activity home to practice, and keep the books in school to practice their skill more.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and for helping out our deaf and hard of hearing students.

You rock!
