My Project

We are a Title I school and my Kinder-2nd students are from Special Education program for Moderate to Extensive Needs. Our students have diverse needs, different learning styles, skills level, and supportive families. They both strive every day to meet educational expectations. As we provide differentiated instruction and adapted materials, this project will help continue our advocacy to help our students’ progress and to assist families in supporting them at home.

As we all know, raising the bar on student engagement and parent involvement are important factors for student achievement and this also holds true for students with disabilities.

The requested supplies will be used for art projects, for making workbooks, daily practice and homework materials. The TPT gift card will be used to purchase materials to create file folders and supplemental worksheets that are literacy-based activities since our students are at the stage of print and phonemic awareness. We will also print, laminate and create picture icons for their language and communication binders. The oil pastel crayon, writing boards and markers will be sent home to each student. Lastly, along with CD player, we hope to give our students an opportunity to experience how to use musical instruments as they may have talents that are yet to be discovered and we can embed language goals such as requesting, taking turns and social interaction during music sessions.

I strongly believe that each step on the ladder of progress entails hard work on the part of students, our initiative and commitment, and parents' involvement and patience. Through this project, our students will take more steps up on the ladder not only to make progress but also achievements.
