Supplies for a Special Education Class

Help me give my students more opportunities in learning. Unity books and classroom supplies are what keeps us going and progressing which is extremely important for all students, but especially severe special education students.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sparrow's classroom raised $590

My Students

My students are self-contained special education students. Teaching them is one of the greatest callings I have. They deserve everything that I can give them to achieve success in their academics and life.

Our class is a functional skills class, meaning that each of my students has significant disabilities that interfere with their ability to learn the same way as general education students.

They are a fun group of kids who want to learn and be treated as if they don't have any special needs. Due to their specialized needs, it is up to me to make sure that I follow their IEPs (individualized educational programs) and create diverse lesson plans to help each of them to meet their goals. My students have so much to offer everyone around them and brighten everyone's day. Regardless of their personal challenges, you can see their intelligence as they try to process things they are experiencing in their worlds.

Not only do I and my staff assist them with their education, we are frequently teaching them social skills, behavior management including new ways to handle frustrations and sensory overloads, and so much more.

My Project

Classroom supplies are basic needs in schools. Many teachers spend their own money to ensure that our students have the supplies they need to access their education. We want our students to succeed, but we can't always supply the things they need because we have our families and finances we need to balance in with buying school supplies that can limit our ability to get what is needed.

Books, ink, and pre-prepared activities and worksheets help to make learning quick and easily accessible for students and teachers while freeing up the teacher's time to prepare more fun and engaging lessons, activities, and projects for all students.
