Help me give my students a great start to their kindergarten school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shana's classroom raised $1,138

This project is fully funded

My Project

Thank you for investing in our kindergarteners. Kindergarten is a foundational year for students. I am a kindergarten special education working with an amazing inclusive team of teachers, EA's, and support staff. Our students are amazing and are all reading progressing so early this year.

My students sensory tools to help build a health sensory diet that will allow them to regulate and focus.

Sensory tools and experiences will give our students a positive and engaging environment for learning and growing.

The "office" supplies will help me to build adaptive binders and file folders for specialized instruction and differentiation of skills and concepts our students are learning.

Our students are often hungry and the snacks will keep them going and focused on academic work.

Mahalo!
