My Project

I am a 3rd grade special education teacher in Fall River. I support the diverse learning needs of special education students in 3 different inclusion classrooms, as well as general education students that require more explicit instruction. At any given academic block in the day, my teaching is supporting between 20 and 73 diverse 3rd grade students. Many of my students benefit from hands on, multisensory materials for math and phonics. In order to best support their unique learning styles and needs while learning how to multiply and divide, identify and compare fractions, identify time on analogue clocks, measure elapsed time, measure using weight and volume, and grow their literacy abilities, I am asking for support in purchasing more hands on materials to support my unique learners. These materials will help provide my learners with more concrete ways to learn and access the grade-level curriculum, as well as show mastery of what they have learned in tactile and visual ways. I hope that you will consider donating to this project, and help me continue to show my students that they are capable of equally amazing learning and academic outcomes, despite their disabilities.
