Captivating Kindergarteners

Help me give my students the necessary tools they need to build their literacy and social emotional development. These materials will allow us to teach coping skills and offer hands on learning centers!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Taylor's classroom raised $981

My Project

Our amazing Kindergarten classroom contains students with Mild intellectual disabilities, Autism, Developmental Delays, and Emotional Disabilities. Starting as first year Kindergarten students, Covid-19 has impacted their opportunity to learn from their immediate environment prior to starting school. They did not get to experience many opportunities that help build social and coping skills to deal with trauma and stress. As a result there is over stimulation in the classroom environment. The materials chosen will promote social emotional awareness, teach important coping skills, and provide tools for our students to feel calm when they become to stimulated. The literacy materials selected will not only benefit our current students but will be used for many Kindergarten classes to come!
