My Project

In our 7th and 8th-grade special education classroom, structure and accessibility are key to helping students thrive. Many of our students have unique learning needs that require a calm, organized, and predictable environment. With your support, we’ll bring in a rolling storage cart, labeled bins, magnetic bookshelves, and desktop organizers to reduce clutter and increase independence. Basic calculators, binders, and laminated materials will support learning in math and reading. A presentation clicker and bright, cheerful decorations will help engage students during lessons. These tools will empower our students to stay focused, feel confident, and love learning every day.
