Help me give my students board books and playsets to extend the learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. P.'s classroom raised $495

My Students

My school is in an urban area, and it is classified as a low-performing school due to attendance and low test scores. Our school is able to provide us with some items, however, resources are limited.

My students are learning and growing in our Early Childhood classroom for students with Autism.

They range in age from 3 to 5 years old. We spend our days working and playing together to increase our kindergarten readiness skills. They are working hard to increase their functional skills to interact more with their peers.

My Project

My students are ages 3-5 and they have all been diagnosed with autism. Due to the pandemic, they are expected to learn online. This is a new and trying experience for us.

My students would benefit from having reading books and playsets at home.

These little guys have an attention span of less than 5 minutes. I'm hoping to get some books and playsets into their homes so that parents can engage with the student while I coach them. My students can't do traditional paper packets and aren't able to focus on learning from me on the computer. Having books and playsets will give parents activities to extend their learning through meaningful play.
