FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Towers's classroom raised $242

This project is fully funded

My Project

The alphabet and word building learning activities I am requesting will make a difference in my classroom for many reasons. With teaching a special education classroom, it is very important to keep the students engaged in what they are learning. The items I have requested are colorful and exciting for them which will keep them engaged. My goals for this project is to advance my students’ ELA skills. This will make my students feel special as it is something that will keep them engaged, excited, and ready to learn each time they get the manipulatives out.
