Classroom Basic Supplies for Ausome Students

Help me give my students book bins, binders, and organizational basics to help our classroom run smoothly!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sara Porchetta's classroom raised $185

My Project

School supplies can be expensive for any new teacher, especially a special education teacher. Special education teachers have to constantly adapt materials based on the students' needs. With your donation, my students won't have to worry about the basics needed to continue the 2024-2025 school year.

Color-coordinated book bins, color-coordinated plastic zip envelopes, color-coordinated trays, and color-coordinated pencil pouches are some of the materials needed to adapt materials in a special education classroom, especially for students with autism.

These requested materials will be used to organize visuals for their individual schedules, creating boundaries during art and sensory activities, and organizing the students' individualized materials.

Please help my self-contained, autism classroom get the supplies we need to keep the momentum going by keeping our supplies stocked.
