My Project

Welcome to middle school! My students have special needs and we are a special education classroom on a typical middle school campus. My students love to interact with their peers - we are on the cheer team, we go to dance class, and we work in the school garden. We are also in charge of the school recycling program!

My students inspire me every day, and we work hard in my classroom - but we have fun, too!

I want to create a calming corner in my class; a place where students can unwind and reset. I am asking for some supplies, including a sensory tent, to help create a small, special space for my students.
