My Students

My students are high-functioning middle school students with autism, as well as students with a multitude of other learning disabilities within the New York City public school system. This year we are having our first ever NEST class. We are looking for funding for classroom furniture such as flexible seating options and workstations, art supplies for hands-on crafts and acitivities, and manipulatives to overall enhance the student's learning experience in ways best suitable for each individual student in the classroom. The more options we as educators can provide, the more opportunities students have to make the classroom a welcoming and supportive environment. We are seeking support from DonorsChoose to provide necessary supplies to improve the student's experience!

Thank you for your consideration and support.

My Project

Thanks to DonorsChoose I have the platform to ask the community to help enhance my student's educational experience. Having flexible seating in the classroom can allow students to have options to find their best-suited seat within the classroom. Everyone learns differently, and everyone needs different things, so having flexible seating options will provide the students a comfortable learning environment. The yoga station will allow students to regroup and refocus, and utilize mindfulness techniques to assist in a number of situations. The classroom supplies will give students choices in how they choose to create and demonstrate their class work and class projects. We thank you endlessly for your support.
