Extra Special Ed. Students!

Help me give my students learning and motivational supplies to help motivate and make special education successful and fun!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gallagher's classroom raised $754

This project is fully funded

My Project

The students in my Special Education class are extra special, but they need to feel acceptance and comfort when they are in my Resource room. When they have snacks, water, rewards, games and other learning incentives, it helps make having extra challenges less difficult to deal with. I love them and want them to reach their learning goals. Helping to fund this Donors Choose project will give them some of the tools they need to make the learning environment even more comfortable and motivating so they don't give up. I try hard to be as positive as possible so they can keep that attitude throughout their lives as they conquer obstacles. We want to read that story
