My Project

There is construction going on in our school so things are not so cozy looking. My students and myself would be so grateful if we could get some help with getting comfy furniture for our room to make it a more comfortable learning environment. My classroom is post secondary special education room so the more comfortable the students the more productive they are with learning. The workbooks on our list have been used in the past and my students love them, they get excited when its workbook time! Thank you so much.
