My Project
I teach a class of 19 incredible high school students with special needs. Each of them brings unique strengths and challenges to the classroom, and they work hard every day to access a curriculum that isn't always designed with their learning needs in mind.
To help bridge this gap, I’m requesting Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards so I can purchase engaging, accessible materials that align with our ELA and Social Studies standards.
Specifically, I’m looking for resources that include hands-on activities, gamified learning, and visual supports to make learning both fun and effective. These materials will allow me to differentiate instruction, break down complex concepts, and help students connect personally with what they’re learning.
Your support will make a direct impact by giving my students access to lessons and activities that are designed for their learning levels—but still challenge them to grow academically. With these tools, my students can participate more fully in class, build their confidence, and make meaningful progress toward their educational goals.
Thank you for helping make learning accessible and enjoyable for all students!
