I am a Special Education Teacher (Life Skills) at Lucian Adams Elementary in Port Arthur, Texas. Our school sustained the worst water damage in our entire district. Most of these students are from low income households to begin with, now they have even less. I teach all subjects to students in grades 2-5, most of which are on a Pre-K to beginning 2nd grade level. We have not been allowed to go back in our building yet, but have been told anything that was on the ground got water damage. In Special Education, I individualize every lesson to meet each student's needs, so over the 11 years I have taught, I have built a collection of resources outside of textbooks provided by the schools. That is what I am afraid I have lost, along with all of my storage files and cabinets/shelves, and children's books. I am afraid my Ipads, Kindles, and headphones were on the ground in my closet. Any and all help is appreciated!
