My students bring so much curiosity, joy, and determination with them each day, and your support helps ensure they have the care and resources they need to flourish both academically and personally.\r\nThese supplies play an essential role in our daily routines and learning experiences. Items like gloves and baby wipes allow me to support students during feeding and potty training with care and consistency, helping them feel secure and supported so they can fully engage in learning. Materials such as laminating pouches, Velcro, and magnetic tape make it possible for me to customize lessons, creating interactive and adaptable activities that meet each child where they are. The cleaning wipes and broom help maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming classroom environment where students can feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1755691481539,"projectUrl":"project/1st-year-teacher-kindergarten-autism/9577379/","projectTitle":"1st Year Teacher!

It's great to have a hoop that's just right for their size. The sensory path is also used regularly by our students with Autism and their neurotypical peers.
