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.
Autism is an extremely challenging disability that affects every aspect of my students' lives. My classroom is made up of six smart and endearing young people with autism. We are located in a low-income school where I need to buy most of my own supplies.
An autism classroom is not run in the traditional way.
My students require a much more individualized and specialized way of learning. They learn through hands-on materials and visuals. They need access to sensory therapy materials. When provided with this type of learning environment, my students can learn and excel! But first, we need some basic supplies to keep our classroom running smoothly! Due to severe budget cuts from out district, our class was not able to secure the supplies needed to have another great year!
My Project
My classroom needs some basic supplies - velcro, pencil grips, markers, dry erasers, folders, binders, glue sticks and sensory resources. My school is very under-funded and I often need to buy these materials with my own money. We need these resources to keep our classroom up and running. We will use these materials across all areas of our classroom - from art projects to creating work station tasks and schedules. My students need pencils, pencil grips, and erasers to complete work sheets. We need binders to store their work sheets and visual schedules which they use daily.
It can be frustrating when I do not even have the most basic supplies for my classroom.
Donors Choose has been an amazing resource to my classroom - it has kept us up and running! The generosity of donors like you have given my student the necessary resources for them to learn and develop! Please continue to support my class and autism education!
