Building Together!

Help me give my students manipulative materials to accelerate their learning opportunities during small group exploration.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Blackburn's classroom raised $973

My Project

Our classroom provides inclusive learning and social opportunities for the students in our autism program. My students enjoy hands on materials that allow them to explore, create and learn together. All students in my classroom will have the opportunity to work and explore together using new manipulative materials. We are excited to have blocks, magnetic tiles, alphabet locks, and more.

These adaptable materials will allow students to build social skills while also accelerating their learning through hands on experiences.

New materials will allow my students be excited, remain engaged and build upon their learning development, while participating in inclusive opportunities with their peers.

Mrs. Blackburn River Street Autism Program - Birken Campus Grades PreK-2
