Full SPED Ahead!

The Description

With these funds I will...purchase supplies for my classroom including: books, lined paper, construction paper, pencils, markers, colored pencils, pens, notebooks, glue sticks, scissors, books, flexible seating options, assistive tech, games, flash cards, paint, STEM activities...you get the idea. 

I successfully completed my first year of teaching! It was such an exciting year that was full of growth for both my students and I. I can’t wait to meet my second group of students and their families after a much needed summer break. One of the biggest hurdles that students in high need schools face is a lack of the necessary materials that are needed daily. It makes it infinitely more difficult for students to take part in activities and classwork when they do not have basic supplies.

To get the year started off right, I will use the funds that I raise to purchase the supplies needed to welcome my students to a classroom that is clean and stocked full with materials. This will allow me to provide the required supplies to students that otherwise would not have them. I will also purchase copy paper to ensure that I can provide my students with high quality learning materials, whether that is exit tickets, independent activities, or homework. Thank you so much in advance for supporting me and my students as I continue this exciting journey.

PledgeCents allows me to keep whatever I raise, so anything you can contribute really will make a difference for my second year. I want to make a great impression and a lasting impact on my second group of students and letting them know that they have a community that supports them both near and far will definitely get us on the right track. Here is a complete list of the materials that your generous investment will help provide for the students of my classroom:

Tiggly offers physical manipulatives that interact with literacy, math, and creative thinking learning apps for students. This provides students with opportunity to engage in digital learning through developmentally appropriate technology. The Tiggly Thinker Kit combines one set of Tiggly Words and one set of Tiggly Digits.

Back Up Plan

If we do not reach our goal I will purchase...the items I can afford as I'm able throughout the year. Most of my activities I want to do will have to be scrapped as I won't have the resources.

About the Creator

As some of you may know, I will be teaching Special Education at Dayton Leadership Academies in August. I'm incredibly excited to be working with 3rd and 4th graders this year. SPED services give students with disabilities access to curriculum and academic strategies that are vital to their success. This work is my heart and soul. It is an important job and I am beyond thankful for this opportunity to help my kiddos succeed! Starting a classroom from scratch is not easy. Some materials are provided, but beyond the basics there will be much I will need to purchase out of pocket. Please consider helping my vision become a reality for the 2017-2018 school year. Every cent donated will go to my classroom! You contribution is greatly appreciated, both from me and my kids!
