My Project

Hi there,

I am a proud teacher of students with learning differences.

Some of our friends have been diagnosed with a significant hearing and/or visual impairment. We are hoping to add chair tennis balls to silence the background noise for our hearing-impaired friends in the classroom. We are also looking for writing manipulatives to help our visual learners.

We are also asking for elastic bands to put around the bottom of our chairs. When we become overwhelmed, we can use these bands as a stress reliever to help us nay our emotions.

Thank you so much for your interest in supporting students with disabilities. The world is better with you in it!

Mrs. Kristiansen East Middle School Grades 6-8
