  • Creating a Safe Classroom to Help Promote Positive Mental Health

    Funded Oct 29, 2024

    Thank you so much for your donation to my calming corner. Your contribution will provide my students with some tools necessary to help my students to deescalate when becoming anxious and overwhelmed. It is so important to approach their lessons with a clear mind and calm body. This center will help my students in an extremely positive way. THANK YOU!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Pollock

  • Help Us With Our Cooking/Baking Skills!

    Funded Oct 14, 2019

    We want to thank you all who donated to our classroom cooking project. It was generous and thoughtful of you! In donating to our project you are giving us the opportunity to continue our class baking/cooking projects. This will help us with our direction following, creativity, and independence. We also hope to begin to sell some of our baked goods to the staff and students in our school to help fund future recipes. Again, thank you! You have helped more than you realize.”

  • Chill Out and Read

    Funded Nov 27, 2018

    I want to take this opportunity to thank you so much for donating to our class project. My students love reading, especially nonfiction books. I am constantly looking for inexpensive books on sale, or looking through the "give away" bin. We had limited books on their level and books of their interest.

    The Chill Out and Read project was a perfect first project for my class. We have made this a group effort. We labeled bins with the different genres we have been learning about and set up a quite, semi-private area where they can be comfortable. I have begun an independent reading time built in our very busy class schedule. The students are also encouraged to read everyday for homework and write about what they read.

    We are planning on expanding our classroom library with more books and comfortable seating. This might be a future Donors Choose project. We have discovered the joys of reading for pleasure!!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Pollock

I teach 6 students in a high school special education classroom. My students are ages 16-18. I work with the same students for the entire school day. We work on all subject areas as well as vocational skills and life skills. My students are all on the autism spectrum and they are a true spectrum. They all have unique individual needs and I explain to them that each one of us has our own needs and challenges to face. This definitely puts them at ease. We are accepting of one another's needs My goal is to help them become more independent and work on getting a successful job after graduation.
