FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Zabinski's classroom raised $500

This project is fully funded

My Project

My classroom consists of 3rd-6th grade students who are fun, energetic, and full of life for learning. They have diverse special needs that make each of their learning styles and personalities differ. Since we are in a Title I school and many of my students are from low-income families. They have minimal access to necessary tools for development in their community. My students will be working on social emotions needs to use calming tools like stories for Little Spot books on emotions and using timers keep regulated with their emotions. In the stations they will have access to the Magnetic tiles and LEGOs as a tool as well.
