  • The World Around Me

    Funded Jun 26, 2007

    I am speechless! I am so happy and excited to find out that you have funded my proposal on the second to last day of the school year. These materials are going to make all the difference in expanding my students language experiences. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. I can't wait to come back to my class in September to begin teaching the children about the World Around Them. Have a wonderful summer and I will be writing to you again upon my return in September. Sincerely, Mary Ellen ”

  • Good Morning Students

    Funded Jan 1, 2007

    I can not express my gratitude for your thoughtfulness and kindness. I have just finished jumping and screaming my happiness in the class and the children are looking at me. These items will help me provide the visual/ auditory stimulation that my class needs daily. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely, Mary Ellen K and class”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. McCormack-Kunis

I am a teacher of 6 students ages 7-9 years of age with a diagnosis of autism. We are a self contained classroom in a specialized school. I have been working with some of these students since they were 5 years old and right out of preschool. When I first met most of them, they were unable to sit and attend for more than a few seconds. Most of them experienced great difficulty with communication skills. Some were non-verbal but most were minimally verbal. They demonstrated limited academic skills and had a great deal of difficulty transitioning through their daily activities and environment. Oh what a difference a day can make! Now my students are all on reading programs, are enthusiastic for group learning activities and are forming friendships as their communication skills improve.
