These materials will be helping a first-year (in person) teacher fund her classroom for her students! Many of the students these materials will go to have both learning/emotional needs along with bilingual needs that need to be addressed. The purpose of this project is to provide students with materials that makes learning fun, along with addressing their educational and personal needs. When teaching in a special education room, it is important to have a safe space within the classroom for students to go to where they can decompress or take a break. The materials in this project would fund a fun and safe environment within the classroom for students to go to when needed. From comfy seats to many different types of books to choose from, students will find comfort in this project-funded corner.
