Help me give my students headphones and a junction box, so they can have more options to enjoy stories and develop language. Help me give my students money manipulatives, so they can use concrete materials to improve skills.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shelton's classroom raised $241
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Students
I am a special education teacher who works with students with disabilities in a special day class. Some of my students have deficits in attention, some have health needs, and some have emotional or behavioral deficits.
My students are special because they are talented artists, excellent peer friends, and love music, dance, and p.e.
All of my students are working on core curriculum, and they need your support to keep up with their non-disabled peers!
My students work so hard, and they are amazing people!
My Project
Not only are my students special learners, but the majority of my students are English Language Learners. So they have more challenges than other students learning academic language needed to progress through higher grades.
Listening centers will support their development of reading fluency, context, inference, and language.
It will also be a fun way to learn!
Markers will allow them to use color to help their brains sort information, create art, and soothe themselves by coloring meditatively. My students need opportunities to practice self-soothing strategies.
Money manipulatives give students a concrete and applied foundation working with fractions, decimals, rounding, counting, and counting by 5's, 10's, and hundreds.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
