My Project

We have almost fourteen hundred students here at my school with special education program classrooms, meaning that these children have limited interactions with the general education classrooms. These children come for story time with me in the library. Many of these children are not able to read and enjoy picture books at an elementary level. With a limited budget and the majority of the students being typically developing, I do not have the resources to invest in picture books.

Your gift would give these children something fun and exciting to look forward to each week.

The books spark real conversations and learning with students who struggle with appropriate social and academic interactions. The books can also be used by the rest of the student body.

Ms. Macynski will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 14.
