My Project

My students are some of the hardest-working, resilient, and unique learners I have ever had the privilege of teaching. As students in an adaptive curriculum classroom, they learn best when provided with engaging, hands-on materials and individualized supports that meet their diverse needs. They come to school each day eager to learn, celebrate their successes, and grow both academically and personally. I love watching their confidence build as they overcome challenges and discover what they are capable of achieving.

The resources in this project will help create a classroom environment where all students can thrive.

Items such as a laminator, laminating sheets, and classroom supplies will allow me to create durable, reusable learning materials tailored to each student's needs. Sensory tools, flexible seating options, and other adaptive resources will help students remain focused, comfortable, and ready to learn throughout the day. These materials including fidgets and favors will support differentiated instruction and provide opportunities for students to engage with content in meaningful ways.

In addition, classroom essentials and student support items will ensure that my students have access to the resources they need every day. By reducing barriers to learning and creating a welcoming, supportive environment, these materials will help students build independence, confidence, and academic skills. Your support will have a direct impact on my students and will help provide them with the tools they need to reach their full potential.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
