New Teacher, New SPED Preschool Classroom

Help me give my students a cozy and welcoming place to learn! Starting in August, I'll be a full-time teacher rebuilding a preschool classroom, and I would love to give my kids some things they don't have.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shelbi's classroom raised $1,006

This project is fully funded

My Project

My goal for this project is to provide my preschoolers with resources that welcome them into the classroom and make them feel comfortable. Right now, they sleep on the floor for naptime and there isn't a carpet to do morning circle or play on. It is important to make the classroom comfortable for them because this is the first classroom of their educational journey! As I transition from Special Education with grades K-3, I would love to know what my preschoolers are interested in before making other purchases. With the dry-erase slips, I plan to have them practice writing/ tracing. I can't wait to start the school year with my new Special Education classroom with your help!
