Help me give my students headphones, Magna-Tiles, watercolor pencils, and more as they require tangibles and hands-on activities to learn.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I am the proud teacher of an ASD (autism spectrum disorder) classroom, where only 2 of my students are diagnosed with autism and the rest have been classified with other disabilities LD (learning disabled), ID (intellectual disabled), AD/HD and behavioral issues. However, regardless of their disabilities, classifications, and issues, they are all extra special because they are my kids. They are the ones that motivate me to get up and come to work every morning. I am a "new" teacher in this district, moved from NY to CT about one and a half years ago. Being a teacher for about 7 years, I always said, "I didn't choose to teach, teaching chose me" because this is my second career. I chose to go back to school to be a Special Education Teacher. Every year, I have been working with very limited resources but this particular year, when I started, our classroom had nothing. I have been working with leftover materials, things I collected from other classrooms, etc. we need your help.
My Project
My students benefit from hands-on projects, lessons, activities and we are incorporating STEM lessons into our daily learning. My students are using some of our "old" computers, without headphones and they get so distracted; we need headphones.
We are also recycling writing tools from previous years but we are running out of everything.
Since the weather is getting colder and colder, we have recess inside but our classroom does not have any games or activities they can play during inside recess.
Art materials in our classroom do not exist; we have none. We just need the basics to make our learning more exciting, motivating and enjoyable. This is my first time asking for help because I've run out of ideas and we don't have much left. We need your help. Thank you for your support!
