Engaging Materials for My Special Needs Learners

Help me give my students tools and materials that will make their learning engaging, fun and adapted to their unique needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mirandilla's classroom raised $738

This project is fully funded

My Project

The materials I am requesting are for my special education students. These materials will help reinforce the idea that learning can be engaging and fun.

The adapted books and and instructional materials that I will make with the use of the materials from this project will incorporate my students' individualized goals and learning styles.

The laminating sheets and self-adhesive dots are essential in making interactive books that will address language, communication and other functional learning goals of my students. The flashcards would be a great tool for vocabulary building and in teaching social emotional skills.

My students are multi-sensory learners and they will benefit from a classroom that is environment enriched and stimulating. The project will help achieve this goal and will be impactful to the learning outcomes of my students.
