My Students

The students I work with are some of the most amazing people I have ever met! Many of them suffer from autism and our goal is to create an environment within our classroom that aids to calm all their senses. We seek to build a sensory section in our main classroom. Our school does not have a sensory room for autistic students! These students are very bright and supplies are needed to enlighten their brain development. Outside of this, many students come from poverty and are not awarded the average amenities of a middle-class family. As teachers, we like to create ways to reward them with items they can use at home for hygiene purposes. Please help us make these students' days more bright as they transition into adulthood.

My Project

We are creating a sensory section for our autistic students. Our school is not equipped to provide for them. We as teachers need help creating a happy environment for them on a daily basis. We need (lights, chairs, games, and pillows) to create the perfect atmosphere. These items are needed to create the perfect sensory section so that our students can release and use all their senses appropriately. The district does not provide us with the proper items needed to teach our students and we as teachers are striving to have a successful year. They have to be engaged and we need help obtaining some of the items to occupy their minds and time. We would sincerely appreciate any donations to our classroom.
