My Project

I am a current Bridge Special Education teacher for students who are in K-3rd Grade. While student’s time with me varies throughout their day, some do spend over 60% of their day in my room! Unfortunately for us, most (if not all) of their supplies at the beginning of the school year go to their General Education teacher! Which is fantastic!!! However, it puts us in a tight spot when we go to do our everyday tasks, fun projects, and have free choice.

Please consider donating items that are considered “basic needs,” and help our class function daily!

We have added anything from writing utensils, coloring utensils, paint, paper, to our care products of paper towel, Lysol wipes, and Kleenexes. By donating to our class, you will be adding to the comfort level in our room!

This project will help fund each student having their own supplies! This creates a sense of belonging, ownership, and responsibility! Great lessons for all to learn! So, whether we’re working on writing, cutting and pasting our math projects together, creating animal habitats, or expressing our creativity through free art choice; you’ll be directly donating to the learning of 17 amazing kids!!

Thank you for your time and for your consideration in donating to our classroom!
