My Project

Please consider donating to help middle school students stay motivated to reach behavioral and academic goals in the special education classroom.

My 7th and 8th grade Emotional Support Classroom is a place where we practice learning and using coping and social skills to be successful in school and in life outside school.

This is a special education classroom for students with autism and other emotional needs. These materials will be used to keep student engaged in activities and motivated to complete academic work throughout the day. Students are rewarded on an individual basis for meeting goals, and we also celebrate as a class when everyone has met an agreed upon goal.
