My Project

For 8 years I have been a special education preschool teacher, but this upcoming school year I am so excited to be moving to a 2nd/3rd grade special education classroom.

I am seeking support in creating an age appropriate library space for my learners!

A fun carpet, some flexible seating and of course, age appropriate books!

Creating a welcoming, cozy and fun environment for students leads to better engagement and motivation to learn. I would be beyond grateful for your support in helping me fund a classroom library for my new elementary students. Thank you in advance for your donations to this important cause.
