Help me give my students the tools they need to succeed in school

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rodems's classroom raised $477

This project is fully funded

My Project

My classroom is a place for children of all abilities to learn and grow. My students have learning and behavioral needs, are nonverbal, have ADHD, or be on the spectrum and they learn best with a hands on approach. My students have big feelings, but can’t tell us what’s wrong in most cases. My classroom has a lot of hand me down materials from around the school, but my students need a bit extra to focus, learn to read, and count to 125. We need teaching materials that are tailored to work for my amazing kiddos. Please help my students thrive in the classroom this year.
