Cozy and Clean Classroom Equal Healthy and Smart Students!

Help me give my students these resources that would help them be more successful in their daily task/activities in the classroom, especially the cushion pads that will add to my 3 pieces in the classroom.

My Project

By donating to our project, you will not only help my Special Education Resource Class students learn how to read, but you will help them focus on their education every day. Some of the students are really struggling in reading and in Math. So that's where I will use the books for. Some of them will also come to school without eating their breakfast. So having some snacks in the classroom will help my students concentrate, learn, and perform well academically without feeling hungry until lunch time. The floor cushion will be used for each student during our lesson and share time in the front of the classroom. The other supplies that I requested will be used for our students who can't replenish their supplies in the class who's parents are struggling to meet their children's needs. The wipes will be used to keep our classroom clean and sanitize for a healthy and clean classroom.
