My Project
I am a special education case manager/teacher and each of the students who work with me require assistance within their general education classes and curriculum. They often work on their assignments outside of their daily classrooms and in my small group/resource room.
My students are curious and enthusiastic learners, however they often require more specific needs throughout their school day.
Alternate seating options provide them with a comfortable setting in which to learn. Also, at times they require read aloud options where individual headphones would with help with focus and attention. The treats will be used as rewards for displaying positive behaviors and reaching goals they have set for themselves. My caseload of students often requires fidgets to help to keep them focused and on task as they work to achieve their goals.
Any donations provided would greatly enhance our classroom and would give each individual student a better opportunity to achieve and succeed in meeting their goals. Your support means a lot and my students will truly appreciate any and all assistance you can provide!
