Hands-on Social Stories!

Help me give my students hands-on social stories and fidget toys to help them learn to be successful at school!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Martin's classroom raised $286

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project will fund over 48 interactive social stories purchased from Teachers Pay Teachers. The paper and lamination will be used to make sturdy hands-on books to help kids who are struggling with managing their emotions while at school. This project will reach students in 3 classrooms.

Interactive social stories will help teach rules and expectations in a fun hands-on approach.

These stories will incorporate many topics that they come across during school. Topics ranging from walking in line, to staying with a group, to what to do in the cafeteria, to waiting to go home at the end of the day.

These social stories will help them be successful in school and ready to learn in kindergarten.
