FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ashley's classroom raised $1,160

My Project

Having a variety of ages and abilities on my caseload, I require these materials to effectively address their diverse needs and support their individualized goals. The books requested will provide diverse narratives and vocabulary exposure, fostering language development and comprehension skills that are crucial for my students' speech and language growth. The games will create a fun and motivating environment for practicing speech and language skills, encouraging students to communicate effectively while building confidence. The toys will serve as practical tools for role-playing and social interactions, helping students to develop essential communication skills in a playful context. The office supplies will provide essential tools for organization, creation, and communication, enabling students to effectively manage their learning materials and participate actively in their speech and language therapy sessions. Lastly, the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will allow me to access a wide range of high-quality, diverse educational resources tailored for speech and language therapy, ensuring that I can provide my students with engaging materials that meet their specific needs.

The primary goal of my project is to enhance the speech and language development of my students by providing them with diverse and engaging materials tailored to their unique needs.

I aim to create an inclusive learning environment where students of varying ages and abilities can thrive, fostering their communication skills through targeted activities. By utilizing the materials requested I intend to promote active participation and motivation in therapy sessions, ultimately leading to measurable progress in their IEP goals.

My students are special because they exhibit unique strengths, perspectives, and abilities that enrich our learning environment. By embracing their diverse backgrounds and learning styles, I can foster a sense of belonging and empowerment, allowing them to shine and achieve their full potential in speech and language development.
