I have taught special education to 5th graders for two years. The school district decided they needed me at the lower level for kindergarten and 2nd graders. I didn't have many manipulatives or things to use in my classroom. With my donors choose I ordered things they can use to enhance their learning. They are hands on and have already enjoyed using them and learning with them. I also got some different things to decorate my classroom for the students to make it more inviting for them. I ordered magnetic money and number bonds to help students with adding and counting money. I also ordered a giant coloring sheet that they can take a break and color on if they are getting overwhelmed. They have already loved so many of the things I ordered. Their favorite is the plastic telephones that they can hold up and hear themselves reading into.\r\n I greatly appreciate everything! I am currently trying to raise my own family and so your donations have helped out my teaching dreams.
