My Project

I have been teaching for 8 years and currently teach in a high school special education classroom with students who have a wide range of intellectual, social, and emotional needs, many of which are also in lower income households. My students range from 9th-12th grade and require different ways to learn the skills they need to help. them grow and become independent. With the supplies on this list, my students will be able to move closer to their goals by advancing their abilities and fine motor skills and giving them the tools they need to fulfill their sensory needs. Any donation would be immensely appreciated! Thank you!
