My Project

This project will provide new books and classroom materials to my students. We are updating our classroom and would love to have some new stuff to work with! Our students learn on a modified curriculum doing life skills and job skills. All the materials requested will help each student to practice their learning goals and their daily living skills.

The books will provide them with new reading fluency materials, the pots and soil will allow them to get outdoors in our greenhouse to do some science lessons, the headphones will help them with their independent skills on their Chromebooks, the kitchen items will help them with their cleaning skills, and the other materials will help us organize our room.

We appreciate any donation that you are able to help us with and can't wait to have our room updated for the next school year! Thank you so so SO much!
