Setting Up for Success

Help me give my students resources such as scientific calculators and wobble stools to create the best possible learning environment and instruction for my students.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I teach students in grades 6th-8th in Special Education as a resource teacher. My students work extremely hard, despite the learning disabilities they have. My students already struggle with gaps in their learning due to their disabilities and Covid-19 impacted those gaps even further. Students continued losing viable instruction and weren't able to learn in the best environment to receive specialized, small group instruction.

Wobble stools will promote a learning environment that supports a variety of learners.

Calculators will be used as a resource for my 7th and 8th graders working on more difficult, grade level concepts. Healthy snacks will be provided for students who don't always eat three meals a day. The remaining resources will be used to guide instruction and support the functionality of our classroom. Any support is greatly appreciated by myself and my students!
