Our Dream Special Ed Fully Self Contained Classroom!

Help me give my students many of the things we want in our special education fully self-contained classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Martin's classroom raised $1,175

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are a fully self-contained classroom of four very, very special students who are learning everything! One of us has been out of a classroom for over two years due to Covid and is just now learning to socialize with friends, but it is a skill that we are all working on.

We all already enjoy our new classroom experience, and it could be even better if we had the sensory activities, books, group play games and supplies that we all dream about!

We are all learning to share and learning about what activities we like, so the more things we can try, the happier we are. New supplies for activities we are already learning will bring new fun into our classroom as well.

Only one of us is verbal, but we all enjoy looking at books and being read to, so a cozy bean bag will make our reading corner even better. And a sensory swing is something that some of us have dreamed of for a long time. It will also help us learn about sharing!

Our classroom dreams would come true if this is funded for us!
