Traveling Teacher

Help me give my students the materials to learn to self regulate and learn to have age appropriate social emotional skills. We need lap pads, a storage cart, laminating sheets, and other classroom supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sara Karcher's classroom raised $507

My Project

This year I will be a traveling special education teacher going between three schools. I will be teaching multiple ages, but part of my day will be spent with early childhood, teaching social emotional and regulation skills.

The weighted lap pads, dough mats, and preschool books will help me engage with my younger learners and focus on self regulation and social emotional skills.

The traveling cart and organization materials will help me organize the three spaces so that I can teach in multiple buildings to the students who need me.

Please help me gain these resources so that I can effectively work with multiple children in multiple settings.
