My Project

Greetings! I'm thrilled to introduce our initiative aimed at enhancing the learning journey of exceptional students within our elementary school community. As an Exceptional Student Education (ESE) resource teacher, I have the privilege of traveling to various classrooms, providing vital support to students with Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals and academic needs.

Our mission is to create an inclusive and supportive environment where every student can thrive.

To achieve this, we are seeking your generous support to equip our mobile support unit with essential supplies. These supplies serve two crucial purposes:

Organization and Mobility:

Efficient organization is key to delivering timely support to our students. With your help, we aim to outfit our mobile unit with storage solutions such as portable bins, caddies, and rolling carts. These supplies will enable us to swiftly navigate between classrooms while ensuring that resources are easily accessible. By streamlining our logistics, we can maximize instructional time and focus on meeting the unique needs of each student.

Emotional and Behavioral Support:

We recognize the importance of fostering a nurturing environment that promotes emotional well-being. For our students with emotional and behavioral challenges, we aim to provide specialized resources, including calming stickers, sensory tools, and mindfulness activities. These supplies empower us to create calming spaces and implement effective strategies that support our students' social-emotional development.

Your generous contribution will directly impact the lives of our exceptional learners, empowering them to reach their full potential. Together, we can cultivate a culture of inclusivity, empathy, and academic success.

Thank you for considering our project. Your support will make a tangible difference in the lives of our students and contribute to the creation of a more equitable and inclusive learning community.

With gratitude,

Kirstin Smith
