  • Exceptional Leaners in Need of Special Resources!

    Funded Jun 27, 2021

    Wow! This is my first Donors Choose project and I can't believe we got fully funded! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!! My students are gonna love all the wonderful seating during circle time. They will especially enjoy the sensory items they will have access too. Most of my students require some type of sensory release while working:)

    Thank you so, so much!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Cruz

I teach in a K-5 Special education classroom in a charter school. The program is new to the school and we basically need everything ! Yes, I teach the school curriculum but there is a HUGE focus on teaching life skills and social/ emotional skills in my particular program. Every task throughout the day is a learning experience! My elementary school students are learning how to monitor their behavior and become as independent as possible at home and school. It is very difficult for me and parents in this economic situation to provide everything they need to become independent, intelligent and successful students. The supplies I am asking for will assist with providing real-life scenarios that will be taught, practiced, and then hopefully occur independently.
