My Project

I teach Kindergarten through 2nd-grade special education students. These students have a variety of disabilities. I want my students to have access to a warm and inviting classroom. The students should have a calming station with various sensory items. My students deserve to have a space where they can access a safe and warm environment. I am requesting a rug, headphones, bean bag chair and more for a calm and warm classroom environment for the upcoming school year!

These materials would mean the world to my students!

These materials will make our classroom a more relaxed and manageable learning space. Accessing these needed materials firsthand will help our students excel in the classroom daily with a smile.
