Diving Into A New School Year

My students need an easel, carpet squares, and book boxes for the classroom environment in order to learn and grow. These materials will help them learn, control their body, and be organized!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Meagher's classroom raised $456

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students have such great potential for learning and growing! They will reach that potential with the right materials to start off a new school year.

My students attend a public school in an urban neighborhood.

They are special education kindergarten and first grade students. They have upbeat dispositions and experience challenges ranging from speech and language disabilities to conditions resembling cerebral palsy.

My Project

The easel, carpet squares, and book boxes resources will help students learn. The carpet squares are inviting and engaging to the learning environment and also keep student behaviors controlled in the special education setting. We do not have an easel in class, and this is the presentation board for lessons in early childhood classroom settings. Bins and boxes help students organize materials as well as learn how to clean up and be responsible for using classroom materials.

These are essential pieces to an early childhood special education classroom community!

These donations will help my students learn and develop! I know my classroom community will be so grateful for these donations.
