My Students

My classroom is a wonderful place filled with hardworking students and staff. Every day, I fall just a little bit more in love with their amazing hearts and smiles. Each child has an individual education plan to help them make progress on goals in functional academics, behavior, life skills, communication, and functional life skills.

My students are full of curiosity, energy, and incredible potential.

We focus on the positive and celebrate every success that they achieve. Each day I do my best to make sure that they have the necessary tools to succeed, but it takes a lot of equipment and materials to help meet their unique needs.

With the help of DonorsChoose.org, I am able to provide unique and engaging materials to help my students, who experience a variety of disabilities, overcome their challenges and let their abilities shine through.

My Project

Every classroom needs a lot of basic stuff. When you're a specialized program for students with Autism in special education, you need even more stuff. In our class, every student has an individualized education plan (IEP) which addresses skills in academics, social areas, communication, life and self-management.

Every student is at a different level for reading, writing and math, so there is a big need for a variety of materials to meet all of their needs.

I use card stock, stapler, tape and Velcro to create interactive activities to help them learn academic skills. The book bins and paper trays will hold these materials and make them easily accessible to all of the students.

We also need to create new bulletin boards to brighten up our classroom and have cohesiveness with the materials we use on our walls. The new bulletin board paper, border, calendar and wall decals will help make our room visually calm which is necessary for students who experience Autism.

Thank you for considering my project. Please know that my students are full of such potential and will make good use of these materials.
