Investor

Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.

Nassau Education Foundation - $819.87

Goal

Increase the educational gains and physical abilities of students with special needs.

What will be done with my students

Students will be able to use the pedal desk at their work area. It can be used at any space in the classroom. The balance trainer will be place near a wall so that students can stand on will while studying posters which will be rotated weekly. The trampoline will be a great way to burn extra energy in the middle of the school day!
Students are able to listen to books on CD at our listening center. They currently have their own headphones and listen to books in an attempt to pick out key details such as main idea, supporting details, and plot. Our classroom needs more books on CD so that the students can increase their vocabulary and knowledge.

Benefits to my students

The students will be able to enjoy books on CD. This will increase their fluency rate, their level of comprehension, and their love of reading.
The exercise equipment will help the student develop their core muscles which are needed in all aspects of life.
The weighted doll will be a friend to those students who are needing comfort.
The classroom tent will serve as a place of solitude when students need a break.
