Creating a Comforting Environment for Our SPED Class!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Chelsea's classroom raised $751

My Project

Our special education classroom is made up of amazing students who strive to do their best each day! Each child has their own unique set of needs and is special in their own way. There are multiple different grade levels in my classroom, ranging from Kindergarten to 2nd Grade. The materials I am requesting are to help me create an environment in which they can continue to grow and reach their fullest potential.

I feel having a classroom where the students feel welcome, comforted, and excited to learn is extremely important!

If a student feels accepted and comfortable, they are more prone to succeed. The students in my classroom need a variety of materials that are both stimulating and calming at the same time! The donations to this project will help create an amazing classroom environment and the students will treat all the items with the utmost care.

I would really appreciate your support in making my kids' dream classroom a reality!
