Hands-on Learning

Help me give my students with special needs, specially designed materials to help them engage in their learning and by giving them hands-on learning experiences.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Anshutz's classroom raised $987

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students with special needs need to engage in the learning process in many different ways that require special materials or specialized learning manipulatives and tools that fit their specific needs and learning styles. These materials will help the students in my classroom with disabilities to have a more hands-on approach to their learning. Some of the materials are basic necessities that are not afforded to them by the school. These materials let them access their education. These supplies give students a variety of materials so they are able to participate in their learning and enjoy learning that is tailored to their unique needs.

Students with disabilities have a right to be actively involved in their learning process, and giving them appropriate materials to be successful learners helps cultivate a life of lifelong enjoyment in the learning process.
