My Project

Room 1 is a pre-k special education classroom at that supports emerging communicators as they develop communication and social/emotional skills. All of our students benefit from interactive visuals being integrated into our every day activities.

Storytelling kits play a key role in supporting language development by providing engaging visuals that promote early learning.

Your donation will help us expand our visual storytelling library and provide new ways for student engagement during story time.

Thank you for supporting our youngest students in the first steps of their literacy journey!
