Learning Tools for Special Education

Help me give my students access to some of the basic tools they need to be successful in closing the gaps in their math and reading knowledge through games, technology, and other tools to help practice.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Eli's classroom raised $577

My Project

My middle school students are a wonderful bunch. Since this is my first year working in Special Education, there are some materials they I need to help them be successful in working towards their goals. Many of my students are several grade levels behind and I want to help them grow and develop their skills to be able to grasp their grade level content.

The games will help students build their math and phonics skills while respecting their developmental level.

As middle schoolers, being behind in any subject is hard because you have the awareness that your peers are not. These tools will help students gain the confidence in their math and reading to be successful in all of their classes.
