Flexible Options Ensure Success for All!

My students need weighted stability balls for flexible seating, noise canceling headphones to reduce stimuli, and individual headphones to listen to read alouds to increase bell to bell learning and provide access for all.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Atkins-Pattenson's classroom raised $825

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Our 7th and 8th grade full inclusion/ESL students enter our classrooms each day with a wide range of talents and needs. The majority of our students come from low income households, many students are first or second generation immigrants, and 80% of our students speak at least one language in addition to English. My students have persevered through so many life hardships and show up each day eager to learn and do their best! Your donation can help them continue!

My Project

Weighted stability balls will allow our students who struggle with attention and focus to stay focused longer by engaging their core muscles while they do reading, participating in group work, and completing class work. Noise canceling headphones will ensure that students who need to block out noise can better focus. Lastly, class sets of earbuds will ensure that our range of readers have access to appropriately leveled read alouds to ensure access to rigorous grade level texts for all. Your donation will help to ensure that our students have the flexible options necessary to learn consistently from bell to bell!
