My classroom is a wonderful place filled with hard working students and staff. Every day, I fall just a little bit more in love with their amazing hearts and smiles. Each child has an individual education plan to help them make progress on goals in functional academics, behavior, life skills, communication, and/or functional life skills.
My students are full of curiosity, energy, and incredible potential.
We focus on the positive and celebrate every success that they achieve. Each day I do my best to make sure that they have the necessary tools to succeed, but it takes a lot of equipment and materials to help meet their unique needs.
With the help of DonorsChoose.org, I am able to provide unique and engaging materials to help my students, who experience a variety of disabilities, overcome their challenges and let their abilities shine through.
My Project
Our classroom could use a quiet and sturdy washer and dryer to help my students learn life skills that they can use at home and in future jobs. We have access to a very old set that was purchased sometime in the early 1970s but it's very loud which makes it disruptive to use during the school day.
The washer and dryer will be used to launder clothes that are donated to the school for students who experience homelessness or need.
Another use will be to clean the blankets, cleaning clothes and stuffed animals that get daily use in our classroom.
Finally we will be able to have our students do "jobs" for other teachers, such as the science team, who have towels and other materials that need to be laundered each week.
It is so important for all students, but especially those in special education, to learn skills that will help them acquire skills that will allow them to be as independent as possible when they are adults.
More than half of students from low‑income households
