My Project

We are hoping to begin our school year with brand new supplies for our classroom. My room is a special education classroom where students are taught History and English.

With the start of each school year, we frequently need to replace old materials.

This year, we need a refresh of tools/supplies for each student. Pencils, hand sanitizer, and baskets for each table are basic needs that all of our students have. The other items will be used to supplement our learning, as well as keep us organized. (buzzers and task cards will be used on Fun Fridays). With your help, our classroom can be a welcoming place for all students. We appreciate you stopping by our page.
