My Project

As a special education teacher, my goal is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment for my K-5 students. Each child learns in their own unique way, and having the right resources is essential to help them thrive.

With your generous support, I plan to enhance my classroom with key tools designed to promote individualized learning and foster success.

The kidney-shaped table will allow me to work with small groups, providing a space where I can give targeted instruction and personalized attention. Math manipulatives will support hands-on learning, enabling students to build a solid foundation in math through tactile experiences. Additionally, literacy resources such as books, flashcards, and phonics materials will strengthen reading and writing skills, making learning fun and accessible for all students.

Together, these resources will help bridge the gap for my students, ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed academically and develop essential skills for the future. Your support will truly make a difference in their educational journey. Thank you for helping us create a brighter future for our special education students!
