My Project
I teach an incredible group of K-2 students in an autistic support classroom, each with unique strengths, challenges, and learning styles. My students’ academic abilities range from learning the alphabet to reading at a second-grade level. They thrive on hands-on, sensory-rich experiences that support communication, literacy, and social interaction.
To meet these diverse needs, I’m creating a Magnet Center—a dynamic, interactive space where students can explore letters, words, and science concepts through play.
With magnetic letters, boards, themed activity sets, and tactile materials, this center will support foundational literacy skills, fine motor development, and creative expression.
Magnets are naturally engaging and allow for both structured learning and independent exploration. Whether a student is matching uppercase and lowercase letters, spelling out words, or building simple sentences, the Magnet Center will offer differentiated opportunities for every learner to succeed.
Your support will bring this multi-sensory, inclusive learning space to life—and help my students connect with language, learning, and each other in meaningful ways.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
