Back to School...Back to School!

My students need headphones, writing prompts and sensory toys!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Allie's classroom raised $179

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are ready to begin a new school year but first we need a few things to start the year off on the right foot!

My students are wonderful.

They have autism and are full of life. They make me and everybody else smile and they deserve to have a classroom filled with all the supplies they need! Wireless headphones will make listening to music easier and fidget toys will make listening to stories more enjoyable.

My Project

My students will use the fidget toys to occupy their hands during activities. They will use the writing prompt box daily to write stories and answer questions. The wireless headphones will allow for easier and more enjoyable listening at the computer station.

Donations will improve my classroom in numerous ways as truly any little help counts.

I want to help my students to grow in every and any which way I can! I know the few items I requested will do wonders this year.

Ms. Allie PS255Q @ PS397 Grades 3-5
