My Project

When donating to our classroom you are providing our students an opportunity to explore different academic and real world experience. This project will help students continue building on their financial literacy as well as increase their motor skills. Using the play food and register will also help us develop important life skills. I have 20 Special Education students split between 2 classrooms.

Our students range from Pre-K to 5th grade.

In our classroom we embrace our differences to encourage independence and adapting things and situations to fit their needs. Our students LOVE to play restaurant, fast food (mainly McDonalds), and grocery store . When our students are engaging in these activities they are learning how to share and work together which are imperative skills as they get older and into the real world.

We appreciate any and all donations and considerations.
