My Project

The goal of this project is to provide essential classroom supplies that will support hands on, safe and engaging learning for Special Education Class. Many of my students thrive with interactive, diverse and differentiated activities and having the right materials will help it more accessible and exciting for them.

By securing these supplies, I aim to:

-Create an inclusive learning environment that accommodates diverse learning needs.

-Reduce barriers tom implementing effective, interactive lessons tailored to students' diverse needs.

-Enhance my ability to foster a love for science in students who may struiggle with traditional learning methods.

With your support, my students will have tools they need to develop love for learning while building confidence in their abilities
