My Project

As you know teachers do not receive funding for classroom supplies. These items will be used to help my dyslexic students use the tools to stimulate their senses to learn. I want all my students to come to school excited to learn. Sometimes the little change from pencil to pen makes a huge difference. The play-doh will be used to make letters, instead of writing them daily. These students would be ecstatic with new learning tools that we could use in the classroom. Please help my students achieve this!
