My Project

Our classroom is in need of some materials to further the student's education. Our special education classroom consists of students in a low-income community with various needs. The majority of the students need assistance with communication so we would love the binders and tabs to keep up with the visuals and PECS. Also, the students like to play pretend and STEM activities so the people toys and STEM activities would be great for the students to learn with. It will introduce the students to science and math. We would like to thank you all in advance for your donations!
