My Special Einsteins

Help me give my students a lego set, floor seats, medium storage, and floor puzzles; the tools they need to succeed in this world.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Holmes's classroom raised $1,182

My Project

I serve students with different disabilities. I love my students because not two of them are the same. They each have very different and unique personalities and they all shine in different ways.

The items I am requesting will not only help them feel comfortable in our class but also give them the room to explore and grow.

I am building a library center in my class. The books and the floor seats will help build their vocabulary and help their reading fluency. The puzzles and legos will help build their motor skills and challenge their thinking.
