My Project
I am excited to design an engaging and informative experience for my students with special needs. With your help I would like to make it possible to provide opportunities for environmental exploration and outdoor fun. Nothing is more engaging and exciting than blowing and running after bubbles in the school yard.
My students would use the materials gifted to them to help engage and encourage their curiosity of the world around them.
I would like to extend my students' engagement and excitement into the classroom by being able to offer a variety of materials such as play doh, fidget/sensory toys, and other resources like ocean animals to support my students' special needs would be a wonderful way to promote their well-being. We thank you for your generosity and commitment to seeing our special education students succeed!!
