My Project

This year, I have students from kindergarten through fifth grade in my class. Most of my students have been with me since kindergarten and I have had the privilege of watching them grow and develop into the learners they are today. Due to my class's unique needs and broad age range, every student is working on different skills in math, language arts, and social emotional learning. I create individual work binders and hands-on activities for each of my students that are aligned with IEP goals and objectives.

Many of my students are making such great progress this year that I now need to update their individualized materials to ensure that I am meeting their current academic and social emotional learning needs.

I am asking for new hands-on reading and math activities that will help to challenge my students. I am also asking for cleaning supplies and sensory resources to ensure that my classroom is a clean and inviting environment for all of my students. I want all of my students to feel like our classroom is their home away from home and I believe these resources will help me do just that.

Thank you so much for considering donating to my project! My students and I appreciate it more than you know!
