My students are in 6-8 grade. Despite having a variety of disabilities and coming from impoverished backgrounds, they work very hard every day to improve their social and academic skills. I want to work through Donors Choose to improve the learning environment in my class and provide students with more options on how to access the core subjects that I teach. I work with a wonderful teaching assistant and we have already created a great environment that our kids feel welcome and safe in. We just need some assistance to make it even better!
