My Project

Hi there, this is my second year teaching Special Education in a Fully Self-Contained (FSC) classroom. Help me supply my class with the basic tools and other resources such as chair pockets, stools, and cushions, so we can succeed this year both academically and social-emotionally. Most supplies you will see like paper and velcro, will be used for either sensory activities or setting up decodable books for my students to read while learning the science of reading. I can ensure that all items requested, will indeed make us better prepared for the school year. Mahalo in advance for your generous donations!
