My Project

I absolutely love the enthusiasm and determination my students bring to each day. As young learners in an early childhood special education classroom, they face unique challenges, but they also possess incredible potential and creativity. These children are working on developing foundational skills that will serve them for a lifetime, and I am constantly amazed by their resilience and progress.

The specific items I am requesting—hands-on alphabet learning manipulatives—will make a huge difference in their literacy development.

Many of my students are working on letter recognition, fine motor skills, and letter-sound associations, all of which are crucial for early literacy. The tactile nature of these manipulatives will engage students more effectively than traditional worksheets or flashcards, providing them with a multisensory approach to learning. They’ll be able to physically manipulate the letters, which reinforces learning in a fun, interactive way. These resources will help students make connections between the shapes of letters and the sounds they represent, which will ultimately strengthen their reading and writing skills.

My goal for this project is to create a classroom environment where each child can build a strong literacy foundation through hands-on, engaging activities. By using these manipulatives, students will develop not only their academic skills but also their confidence and independence. I want them to feel empowered as learners and to take pride in their progress.

What makes my students special is their perseverance. Despite facing challenges, they remain eager to learn and grow every day. These children thrive when given the right tools and opportunities, and I believe that with these alphabet manipulatives, they will achieve great things and develop a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
