Learning Tools & Motivators

Help me give my students CD player, Magna-Tiles, and other interactive materials to motivate learning

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brown's classroom raised $308

This project is fully funded

My Project

The materials will help my neurodivergent students gain access to learning. I am currently in a new classroom and want to diversify the materials.

This can be learning about different cultures and races through music.

This could also be magnetic math manipulatives and a variety of motivators such as a flower garden. The sensory tools will be used for sensory breaks or to help students focus on their learning

I can make strong adaptive books/ materials with a laminating machine and think pouches.

Thank you for considering to donate!
