Thank you for considering our project for the 2025-2026 school year. I teach amazing students with autism. We are a Title I school, and my students receive ELL support. They have impressive artistic abilities and are very creative. Their academic abilities range from kindergarten to 2nd grade. I found out that my special education program will be moving to a new building. With that being said, my classroom will need an organization system for our reading and math centers.
My desire is to challenge them even more than the previous year.
We need separate compartments for students individual tasks during centers. I have a wide variety of current tasks and academic activities for math and reading. As my students grow I continually add a wide range of activities to support their math and reading goals. We are in need of a place to keep our task bins and other materials for my students. This will give students the opportunity to work on academic skills to reach their full potential.
