Help me give my students an organized classroom and new books for learning sequencing and how to handle social situations! My students would absolutely love a new book displays and a bean bag chair for their reading corner!

My Students
I work at a sub separate Day program in Lowell, MA specifically for students with disabilities and/or special needs. All of my students are in middle school and have been diagnosed with autism. Children with autism have difficulties with communication, learning, social interaction and imaginative play. My students learn in unique and different ways.
Our school is fairly new and in a very low income area, we are not always provided the materials needed to aid this population of children in success.
Being back after COVID, a lot of our materials were lost or thrown out due to the restrictions. This year feels like my first year teaching, I am almost starting over from scratch.
My students are so smart, lovable, happy, and they want to learn. We work on communication, social interactions, behaviors and life skills. The goal is to help them be as independent as possible in their future. I love my students! Everyday is an adventure, and I hope I can provide them with the tools needed to help with their everyday challenges with a better stocked and furnished class!
My Project
These materials will revamp our read alouds with some new fun books that I know my students will absolutely love! Our reading corner would look great with a new bean bag chair for them to take turns using and encourage independent reading. The bookshelves and displays will expose them to new books each month and increase participation with read alouds if they get to choose the next one! We also need a lot of organization and basic school materials for our classroom to help a smooth transition into their 9th grade classroom. Please help my classroom actually look like a classroom!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
