Help me give my students puzzles for fun and learning.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gaw's classroom raised $424
This project is fully funded
My Project
We are a K-12 residential school for students with sensory impairments. All of our students are sensory impaired and many of them have an additional disability. Our students are curious, energetic and ready to learn! We have students living on and off-campus. Our residential students come from all over our state and live on our campus Sunday through Friday. Our school is considered a high poverty school.
Our students with sensory impairments need tactile activities (i.e., puzzles) to help reinforce classroom concepts and develop problem solving skills.
They enjoy learning and really benefit from hands-on activities. The puzzles included in the grant will help them develop memory skills, patience, perseverance, teamwork, and have some fun! They will be having so much fun that they will not realize that they are learning some very important cognitive skills. They will be planning, testing ideas, and solving problems each time they work on a puzzle. In addition, the puzzles will provide them with opportunities to work on language, fine motor, and social skills. These materials will be available for use in the classroom and after school.
DonorsChoose is the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
As a teacher-founded nonprofit, we're trusted by thousands of teachers and supporters across the country. This classroom request for funding was created by Mrs. Gaw and reviewed by the DonorsChoose team.
