Help me give my students new mice (and mouse pads) to go with the Chormebooks my class received as a UDL project our Special Education department is doing for the district. Plus a few extra pieces.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Stepp's classroom raised $156

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
The students in my classroom have sensory processing disorders and Autism. Students often struggle with processing different environmental factors in the classroom which impact student learning.
The primary focus in our classroom is communication.
The students in the classroom often communicate with each other utilizing pictures to express their wants or needs. In our classroom, we use a hands-on approach as we cook weekly, create art projects, utilize frequent movement breaks, and incorporate items that make every aspect of academics a hands-on experience.
Each student in my classroom has an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) which provides them with a unique educational experience. Students participate in breakfast and snack in our classroom. During these times we learn how to set a table, use manners, and further our focus of communication
My Project
My students received Chromebooks from the Special Education department in my district. The Universal Design for Learning team was able to get Chromebooks for several classrooms in the district that serve the special education population. My students use the the computer lab in the school, however having access to the computers in class is easier for them. They use Google Classroom to access curriculum that I have made for them as well as district online programs.
Getting mice for the computers will allow them to easily access the computer easier because the mouse pad on the Chromebooks is hard for some of my students to use.
My students are also the ones building the yearbook for the school this year and being able to use an external mouse will give them more freedom to build the yearbook.
One of my students likes to use headphones, getting a new pair will be more helpful for him to focus on his work. Our class also likes to listen to music. Getting a portable speaker allows them to listen to music as a class either in the classroom or outside when taking breaks.
More than half of students from low‑income households
