Essential Support Resources For Exceptional Learners In 25-26

Help me give my students new supports to increase class organization & motivation success with notebooks, folders, expo markers, snacks, & Wordly Wise / TPT resources that will enhance classwork for middle school Special Ed / MLL exceptional learners.

My Project

This project will help 100 middle school students in 5th, 6th & 7th grade at my new school support their learning in a co-taught environment and a resource setting as they increase learning for language and literacy. The goal of this project is to increase accessibility of materials for students who don’t always have extra funds for their special classes like mine.

Students need access to TpT resources, Worldly Wise and snacks as well as other organizational tools to support extra learning for academic vocabulary and content reading and to remind that that hard work can pay off.

My exceptional MLL & Special Education kids need new learning resources that are comparable to their typical peers but are unique to reinforcement / reteaching and or front-loading / pre-teaching.

My kids are typically excited, enthusiastic, hard workers who look forward to different hands on tasks but sometimes they need new activities and snacks to keep them working through different supplemental items for increased success. These resources have the ability to do that!
