Hands On Learning!

Help me give my students options for independent learning that is stimulating and individualized.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Borkowski's classroom raised $426

This project is fully funded

My Project

My special-needs students are in a new classroom with very limited supplies for their age group. They thrive on being able to make choices and also to be able to use those choices in different ways. These items can be used as intended or the students can find other ways to learn using them.

It will make a difference in their learning because it will help with independent skills, academic stimulation, and give more options for them to individualize their learning.

Starting the new school year off with these items will be crucial to gaining interest in learning.
