My Project

I want to provide the students in my special needs classes with a print-rich environment in which they can grow as proficient readers and writers. They will need materials to construct journals, keep their work handy, and display their work appropriately.

Through your donation, I can create a colorful and pleasing classroom setting to display students' written masterpieces and enable them to see their progress as they grow academically throughout the year.

Help me create an aesthetically pleasing classroom and working environment by contributing to this project. Thank you kindly.

Ms. Santiago P25R @IS7 Grades 6-8
