My Students

My students and families have been trying their absolute best to continue learning at home, but young children need a wide variety of supplies, and hands-on materials to continue to develop reading and math skills. I’ve used video conferencing, interactive educational websites and hand-on materials.

They deserve to continue to learn and to continue to work on the IEP goals while they are home.

It’s so important we continue to address their needs while they are not in the classroom.

My Project

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, my students will continue to participate in distance learning this fall. I want to provide them with an environment that is nourishing, supportive and has the supplies needed to be a successful student. My students need supplies every day to help them with their school work. These materials will help my students reach their potential with the curriculum.

The cleaning supplies will allow students to create healthy and safe environment so that we can focus on the important things such as learning!

Funding this project will ensure that my students have the necessary materials so they can be successful in the home. Knowing that they have their own supplies will give them a since of ownership. This will also boost my student’s self esteem. No child will feel left out.
