My Project

Hey there y'all! I am a teacher at a local Henry County Schools middle school, and this year is my first year as a IRR ELA teacher for 6th grade! I have made the transition from general education (ELA, Science, and Social Studies taught prior) to Special Education, and I need your help to stock my classroom with the best tools and materials for student engagement and success! I have practically no decor or classroom materials, and so I need all of the help I can get! Anything you can donate is greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance for your time and assistance! I can't wait for the 25-26 school year, and with your help, I can make it my best year yet!
