Diverse Learners Want To Be Seen and Heard

Help me give my diverse learners supplies to plan and create projects for class and school events, as well as, access to all their teachers voices with speakers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Murayama's classroom raised $991

My Project

I teach multiple subjects and support diverse learners. One of which is an inclusion class with learners of all abilities, general education, austistic, non-ambulatory, and Deaf. They all want to be seen and heard. After trying to navigate new learning environments (from home), to hybrid, and finally back in the classroom, they are excited to work in small groups where they can collaborate and share ideas face to face. However, they need collaborative easel pads, markers, erasers, and lamination sheets to create projects, class, and school events they are proud of. The speakers and microphones will help my hard of hearing student hear teacher and peer voices in all classes without being singled out or appearing different than peers. Snacks will provide fuel for students to get through the day for those that come to school hungry.
