  • Let's Stay Clean!

    Funded Mar 26, 2025

    Thank you so much for donating to this project. We are always I need of gloves. We are always in need of wipes. These are the things that keep our classroom running efficiently.

    We use wipes all day for personal care, wiping noses, cleaning hands, etc. We use the Lysol wipes to disinfect the classroom, toys, bathrooms, and changing room. The gloves are something we use for all of the above.

    We have lots of germs in our room and want to make sure everyone stays safe and healthy. These wipes and gloves allow us to do this!”

  • Tie-Dye Madness!

    Funded Feb 7, 2025

    Thank you so much for donating to this project. The kids had a blast tie dying! We did too! This was an all day event last week that led up to this Thursday's tie dye day.

    We had a variety of colors and patterns. You can really see some personalities blossom.

    This was a great way to celebrate disability awareness week.

    We practiced making choices, working on our colors and sharing during this activity. These are all functional life skills for our kids to be successful moving forward in their adult lives.”

  • Ink Please!

    Funded Mar 25, 2025

    Thank you so much for funding our project for ink. You have no idea how many things we print in a day, so this is great. We often have to just print things on the fly and it's convenient to have ink on hand.

    My students require colored work, because it makes the pictures brighter and more realistic. Black and white does not draw their attention and it's too "vague" and "generic" for them.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to donate to our class project. Now we can have our adapted books in color!”

    Funded Mar 25, 2025

    Thank you so much for donating to this project! I cannot wait to bring spring alive for our kids! Having hands on and visuals to talk through these processes are crucial - so thank you so much for making this happen! The kids LOVE the butterflies and their mom's love the flowers for Mother's Day :)”

    Funded Feb 7, 2025

    Thank you so much for donating to this fun spring time project! We are ready to get back outside enjoying the sunshine and with this project we can!

    We have class supplies of the outdoor items now!

    I've made little goodie bags for the kids with l of the fun outside stuff! They all have glasses. They all have bubbles. They all have frisbees. They all have bouncy balls. They all have chalk.

    They all even get a Spring book! This will let them build their home library and learn even more about spring!”

Welcome! In our classroom you'd find a variety of students, with varying levels of abilities. This class is a self contained special education classroom serving students with multiple disabilities. We focus a lot on daily acts of living like self-feeding, toileting, and promoting independence within the children. We are learning our names, numbers, letters (and some are even beginning to read). We teach all content areas in this class just like our general education peers, we just provide a lot more support with prompting, visuals, tactile adaptations, etc.
