Supplies for Special Friends

Help me give my students new supplies for learning, growing, and focusing

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. H.'s classroom raised $464

This project is fully funded

My Project

Within my classroom, I have a variety of students with various abilities in and out of my room on a daily basis. Some of my students, learn better with hands-on activities. Other students, struggle with their emotions and need extra supports, such as dot markers, a bean bag chair, stampers, and more in order to calm themselves and get back on track. A few of my students work better with alternative writing utensils.

The goal of this project is to help students continue to grow, learn, and find ways to remain on task.

My students are like my family. My students are just as special as my own children. Working with my students is a privilege. They have taught me that they are much more than what is shown on the surface. These special friends may require specialized instruction and can't always be in the general education classroom, but they have a place to call their own in my classroom. They are always welcomed with love and care. Through your donation, these special friends will continue to thrive, grow, and figure out coping strategies to help them on their path to success.
