My Project

Dear donor,

Thank you so much for donating to my classroom!

As a severe special education life skills teacher, a safe learning environment is key! The vacuum cleaner, paper towels and disenfecting wipes I have asked for all relate to providing my students with a clean and tidy classroom. When a classroom is clean, this allows the student to feel calm and relaxed. In return, the student is able to achieve more goals! In addition to providing a clean and safe classroom environment, I am teaching my students many life skills, one being cooking! Some of the materials included in this package incorporate into my cooking lessons with my students. For example, we are teaching our students to be independent with cooking, so an air fryer is perfect! Thank you for your consideration, it does not go unnoticed!

Thanks,

Miss Martinage
