Hello! Thank you for taking the time to view my page. I am a special education teacher, teaching 3-6 grades in a high poverty public school district. My students have severe learning disabilities in reading, writing and math. In addition to those disabilities, a few students have multiple disabilities that include behavior and communication disabilities. My students are the most lovable, kind, and appreciative students you will meet. I truly feel as they are my children during the time I have them. Since I am a second year teacher, I have little supplies and furniture. Every year I spend hundreds of dollars on my classroom, and being a single mother of 3 growing children, I have found it very difficult to purchase the materials I need for certain lessons I would like to do with my students. I hope you view my projects and decide to donate... "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." Benjamin Franklin
