Diverse Learners, Diverse Ideas: Discover & Embrace

Help me give my students Lakeshore Differing Abilities Books and various learning resources to explore and understand their abilities. These tools will help create a hands-on learning environment through visual, auditory, kinesthetics, and reading/writing experiences.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Phoebe's classroom raised $618

My Project

Our classroom is full of diverse learners. These multi-sensory versatile tools will encourage and spark minds of these young students. The products that I have chosen will help stimulate and engage learning not only within the classroom but outside as well. The magnifying glasses, colored clipboards/pencil holders, microphones, clocks and play money will help them discover leaders in the community -- a policeman, a scientist, a mystery solver, a reporter, a singer or owning their own shop. Helping build social skills, imaginative thinkers, and time management will boost boost confidence within themselves and around people.

By donating to our project, these students will be engrossed and focused in learning; motivated to accomplishing tasks, improve and strengthen their abilities in their own way.

While, learning through play, such as games like Pop for Sight Words, Bananagrams, and use of 9" colorful spot markers, musical instruments, mini bean bags for creative movement will entice the students to learn new concepts and skills, build strategy, social interactions and cooperation making learning effective and fun.

In addition, the Lakeshore Differing Abilities Book Set will educate and have a better understanding of each students’ uniqueness and their ability. The ASL posters & flashcards, mixed bumped dots, sentence building for kids, sensational touch & feel ABC cards, braille ABC blocks, 2-in-1 magnetic maze, and I See, I Spell, I Learn flashcards are resources that'll open the doors of communication with reading and speech between staff and students. Encompassing physical, emotional, cognitive and social growth and development.

Finally, in maintaining my students worksheets, the 2-pocket 3-prong plastic folders and sheet protectors will help differentiate between homework and classwork, keeping students organized. It’s also sturdy enough that it won’t tear in the process of putting these folders in their backpacks.
