Special Education Resource Room

Help me give my students bean bags and sensory materials for an AMAZING place to learn and grow!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pellegrino's classroom raised $428

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My goal for this project is to give my special education students an amazing calm corner where they can decompress, relax, and reset! My students LOVE to go to the calm corner.

My special education students are in grades 3rd-5th and learn in both English and Spanish!

I would love for my students to have a rug to sit on, a bean bag, and sensory items. Please assist me in constructing a calm and beautiful place for my students!

My students feel special when they are respected, successful, and valued!
