My Project

This project is for my special needs classroom. It will give the children in my classroom the materials that they need to learn to their full potential. I would love to build their independence and confidence in their own abilities by providing easy labeled storage bins for their morning activities and daily centers.

My students are trying to master beginning math and reading skills.

Your help with our project will give them hands-on learning to help increase their skills that they need to succeed academically and socially.

They need to work on their fine motor skills which the lacing activities will help them. Lacing activities will also help with them learning to lace and tie their shoes.

We chose the various alphabet activities to introduce, practice, and review their beginning reading skills.

I am new to Donor's Choose and I am very appreciative to have a chance to supply and to organize my classroom to be a more inviting and enjoyable atmosphere that my students are excited to come to.

Thanks so much for helping us!
