SPED Classroom Must Haves

Help me give my students and my classroom these much needed supplies and resources. I am a new teacher in a SPED classroom that needs these items to make my classroom functional and to help my students learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Richardson's classroom raised $689

This project is fully funded

My Project

My classroom is filled with exceptional learners who are in need of manipulative materials, games and classroom organization/management resources. My students have a range of different mental and physical abilities, this wish list is filled with items that will help each of my students learn and meet their goals. Because of COVID-19, my students were unable to go to school or even participate virtually. Many of the educational items I have chosen will help them learn their letters, numbers, and social skills. We also need resources that will keep our classroom organized and easy for our students to be independent. We hope to get funded for this project to make our students successful.
