My Project

Hello and thank you for taking the time to consider donating to my classroom.

My classroom serves six students, all on the autism spectrum, ranging developmentally from 18 months to 6 years old.

The Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards would provide so many differentiated material options that would enrich my broad range of students' learning. The puzzles would be a tool highly accessible to my students who are more severely delayed. A few of my students chew through their clothes daily, so the chewies would be a replacement for that. Because this is a grade level classroom, we do not have tons of access to academic materials outside of the provided special education curriculum. Thank you in advance!
