Ms. Lester from Goldsboro NC is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Specially Designed Needs

Help me give my students an indoor trampoline, beanbags, as well as the supplies that we use on a daily basis so that I can be the best teacher I can be for them.

My Students

I am a self contained teacher of students from kindergarten to second grade. My students have severe needs from behaviors to social and emotional.

My students are cognitively, emotionally, and socially lower then most students in the school, they are nonverbal and require sign language or other types of communication.

They have very specific needs in the classroom that require full attention from myself as well as my Instructional Assistants.

While my students have these special needs, they are still able to learn and have fun doing so.

My Project

This trampoline will help in my classroom for my students sensory needs. They will enjoy using this to let our some of their energy whenever they get overwhelmed. My kids love bean bag chairs. The Occupational Therapist at school has said how good this is for their sensory needs.

My classroom can use these supplies in order provide specially designed instruction, for sensory needs as well as any other needs they have.

My class needs a lot laminated due to the demands, the laminating pouches, card stock, and glue sticks are used for that. I print constantly in the classroom so ink is always a must.
