My name is Clare Svoboda. I'm a first year teacher in a kindergarten special education classroom. If you were to walk into my classroom, you'd be greeted by 6 energetic little boys. All of whom have different strengths, interests, and goals for the upcoming year. As their teacher, I'm working to create a classroom that is not only inviting but also educational! With your help, I'm hoping to be able to give my students a classroom pet as well as a toy kitchen. The fish tank has a dual purpose. Not only will it be an opportunity for students to practice responsibility but it will also be a useful visual for my students who benefit from sensory breaks. The toy kitchen would provide a space for my students to use their imaginations as well as play together. Thank you for considering donating to my classroom!
