Organizing for Comprehension

Help me give my students the tools they need to organize their thoughts and build their comprehension!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Maali's classroom raised $359

This project is fully funded

My Students

I am the Case Manager and Counselor for the students who have special needs. We are located in the southwest side of Chicago. All the students I work with have Diverse Learning needs. They need tools to be successful and safe in the school setting.

These tools will help my students be more successful both in and out of the classroom.

My Project

Graphic organizers and workbooks will help my students understand the material better. Knowing that their thoughts and ideas are all in one place will help them to become better at understanding their own method of learning.

Being able to organize their thoughts in one place will allow my students to review their ideas and understand the material better.

Having these graphic organizers and workbooks will help the students achieve a level of understanding that they had previously not been able to establish.

Their reading comprehension and organizational skills will increase as a result of receiving these products.
