My Project
Aloha,
I am a special education teacher in Maui seeking items to help support my students's sensory needs.
I teach students with communication and sensory needs and we are seeking items to help support my students academic and social and emotional growth.
The rug will be used as an area to meet to support social growth and to do academics. The sensory light, bubble fountain, and beanbag chair will be used as a sensory area within the classroom.
My students are kind and wonderful and this project would help to create an enrichment environment.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
