My Project

I am requesting basic classroom supplies tgat will be used on a daily basis to help my students complete their assignments/tasks. I serve students with a variety of disabilities such as Down Syndrome and Autism. Therefore, some of tge supplies on my list are adapted to help them perform tasks. You will note that I have requested wider pencils, which are easier for most of my early writers to grasp. I am also requesting two types of table top scissors, as many of my stains it very difficult to maneuver ordinary children’s scissors.

Thank you so much for your support!
