My Special Classroom

Help me give my students the tools to help regulate their emotions so they can learn in a calm environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Collins's classroom raised $822

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am a special education teacher. This will be my first year teaching K-1 students who have emotional disabilities. These young students have been through trauma and have seen more in their short 5-6 years than most of us do in a lifetime. I am excited to begin this journey with these amazing, smart kids.

These tools will assist me in teaching my students how to control their big emotions and learn that it’s ok to not be ok.

Donations are appreciated so much. Your gifts will be put to good use in creating an amazing educational classroom.

Thank you!

Ms. Collins Cactus View Elementary School Grades PreK-2
