Building a Space for ALL Students to Succeed

Help me give my students the materials they need to succeed in the classroom such as iPads, weighted blankets, and hand on materials.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Perricone's classroom raised $2,622

This project is fully funded

My Students

We are an Autism classroom implementing Applied Behavior Analysis. I have five students in my classroom, ages six and seven. I am very fortunate to be their teacher. I have the opportunity to help them grow and achieve new skills this year.

It is my goal to provide them with the learning opportunities they need to be successful.

For my students to reach their potential they require an individualized approach to learning. They access content in many different ways. They are an amazing group of children!

My Project

I've created this project to help fund my Autism classroom. My students access content and learning in various ways and need adaptive material to help them to acquire academic skills and manage sensory needs.

The items in this project will be used throughout the school day to support daily learning, communication, fine motor skills, and sensory needs.

My goal is to use the items in this project to create a classroom where my students can succeed. The iPad's will assist in many ways, such as giving non-verbal students the ability to communicate, practicing letters and sight words, and numerical operations. The weighted blanket and trampoline, will be used to address sensory needs. The games will be fun alternatives to work on social skills and structured play. All the items listed in this project will support and encompass the needs of all my students. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to read my project and donate to our classroom!
