Ms. Tran's classroom raised $750

Support Students' Success: Standing Desks for Special Education

Help me give my students hands-on and interactive materials like readers and classroom furniture to support individualized needs. They are very kinesthetic, so a standing desk will help them stay focused while meeting sensory needs.

My Project

I absolutely love my students because they bring so much joy, determination, and creativity into our classroom every day. Each has unique strengths, and I see so much potential in all of them. They work hard to overcome challenges, and it's my goal to support them every way I can.

The standing desks, chair bands for fidgeting feet, social skills lessons, and manipulative alphabets I'm requesting will make a significant difference in their learning.

Many of my students have different sensory and movement needs, and standing desks will allow them to move and shift more easily, which helps them stay focused. Chair bands will provide an outlet for their energy, helping them stay grounded while working. The manipulative alphabet box will engage them in hands-on learning, making literacy more accessible. Social skills lessons will support their emotional growth and help them navigate interactions in and outside the classroom.

My goal is to create a learning environment where my students feel empowered and supported. With these resources, they’ll have the tools to succeed, whether that’s through movement, sensory input, or social development.

What makes my students special is their resilience and ability to tackle challenges with a positive attitude. They inspire me every day, and I’m committed to helping them thrive. These resources will help make that possible.
