Relaxing Break for the School Day

Help me give my students a safe place to have a break throughout the day. I teach special education, so I have a lot of students that come to my room for breaks and snacks.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Armstrong's classroom raised $568

My Project

This is my second year teaching special education. A lot of my students come into my room for a break (or two) throughout the school day. They also come to my room for a snack when they are hungry.

I have seen huge growth in my students since they are offered breaks and snacks in my classroom.

Since this is only my second year of teaching special education, I need more things for my students to do while they have a break. I also needed to stock up on snacks for the students.

Some of my students have ADHD, so I am requesting items that these students can use in their regular classroom to be successful.

I teach special education because I love to see the growth and help the students succeed. I know that these items will help my students succeed in my classroom and in their regular classrooms.
