Respect Education Learning Student Opportunity Use Room Critical Thinking Each

Help me give my students SPED Resource Space for SPED high school students to utilize for their moments when a regular classroom for any reason is not productive, at any time to reset, share, and complete their curriculum.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. La Shawn Hankton's classroom raised $1,066

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love that SPED students come to school each day with a fresh mindset, a smile, no worries, and a willingness to learn. They engage thoroughly and are rarely absent, inspiring me to match their enthusiasm and outlook on the love of education.

The resources will allow our SPED students to engage in an atmosphere that is conducive to their growth, sensory, uniqueness, and instruction, while learning how to advocate for their needs.

Here is a place where they are given space to ask any questions and be vulnerable with their learning.
