I am a special education teacher at one of the best schools around. We are a Pre-K-5 school with over 1000 students from diverse backgrounds. We are part of a larger learning community, and we engage our neighboring community for food banks, needy child fund, a tela-medicine clinic, club day, leadership events, parent nights, Good News Club, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Girls Inc and so much more!
We are a Lighthouse status "Leader In Me" school where everyone can be a leader.
Everyone has genius, and we develop the whole child by building relationships and empowering students. We are a diverse community. Despite our large size, we partner up for many things and relationships are built beyond your own classroom. We do club days where students from multiple grades work together on things that interest them. Older students often give up their recess to help the younger students practice sight words and math facts.
My Project
I have collected a variety of materials for my students to continue online learning from home. I'm sending home materials to help with reading, math, life skills like time and money in a fun and engaging way. I was going to have them waiting for them at school or deliver them to their homes, but with newer stay at home mandates, I can not do either of those options. USPS to the rescue.
I want to mail books, school supplies, games and learning packets home to my students that meet their individual needs.
I can still box up all the materials they need to continue learning and students will be excited to get mail.
