FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Douie's classroom raised $640

My Project
I am an Autistic Support Special Education Teacher of a public school in Philadelphia, and my students are some of the greatest teenagers that I know. My students require a functional curriculum focused on academics, communication, community, domestic, and vocational skills. This means that my job is to help prepare my students for life outside and high school. We work on these needed skills through various ways including but not limited to cooking/baking, doing community-based instruction trips, working closely with other classes, and building skills through hands on materials. Even though my students experience economic struggles and academic barriers, they come to school every day and work their hardest in our room! Our school is a school that provides 100% free breakfast and lunch just to give you an idea of the poverty level they come from.
Please help me to provide some of the things to assist in being able to regulate our sensory needs.
With your help I can help my students to thrive within my classroom. Everyday we are responsible for regulating our social and emotional needs. Along side this we need to regulate our sensory needs. Your funding will help me provide more flexible seating, a calm cool environment, and tools to help my students practice regulating their own emotions and needs.
By updating some of the items in our room, not only will it make the room more inviting for my students, it will help them to build on their skills and be successful outside of our classroom. These items will be used daily and often by my students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
