Help me give my students basic skills to help build their foundation and succeed amongst their peers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sam's classroom raised $392

This project is fully funded

My Project

My goal is to help my Special Education (SPED) students strengthen their basic academic skills and keep up with their general education (gen ed) peers. I plan to create hands-on activities and materials specifically designed to meet their unique needs, such as math tools, reading aids, and sensory motor exercises.

These resources will make learning more engaging and effective for my SPED students, helping them understand and retain essential skills.

This approach aims to support their progress and ensure they remain on par with their classmates.

By developing these specialized materials and interactive activities, I aim to create a more inclusive learning environment where SPED students can actively participate and succeed alongside their gen ed peers. This approach will not only address their individual learning needs but also enhance their engagement and motivation. By providing tools that specifically enhance their strengths and provides challenges, I hope to build their confidence and academic skills, ensuring they have the support necessary to thrive in their educational journey and make meaningful progress.
