My Project

Special Education Students are in dire need of backpacks to carry their Chromebooks with them to their classes. They often forget to bring their supplies and don't have the same privileges as other students who have backpacks and other necessary items for learning. Also, we are in need of good books to read. Of course, they will truly enjoy the fun they experience with the games and fidget toys included in my project, as well. Due to Covid19, our students missed social and emotional experiences and growth at school. These sensory items and games will help their social interactions. Please help and mahalo!
