FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Johnson's classroom raised $357

My Students
As a teacher in a preschool room in a low-income school district, my students are faced with challenges inside and outside of the classroom. Despite the many challenges that my students are facing, I strive to provide them with a fun, interactive, safe, and meaningful learning environment. As their teacher, I try to instill the importance of communicating/listening to one another, being a good citizen and leader, and using trauma-informed techniques to aide them in their social-emotional development.
My students have various learning styles, backgrounds and needs.
Due to being located in an inner-city, funding is extremely hard to come by, and in order to provide my students with the best learning experiences I can give them, I typically find ways to procure these items and experiences out of pocket or by any means I can, which is where DonorsChoose comes in.
My Project
The light table included in this project will help supplement our classroom's light table and sensory exploration station.
Students have various needs and our light table and sensory area has been extremely helpful in allowing students with sensory needs have a calming area of the classroom and provides a center area that allows students to explore colors, different learning toys, and aides visual, hands-on learning with various blocks, bricks, letters, and color shapes.
By having an additional light table, it allows us to grow our light and sensory station and meet even more student needs each day at the classroom light and sensory center.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
