My Project

My students have the drive to work hard and learn. They are on the Autism Spectrum, but they won't let the challenges they face deter them from learning.

As a way to make learning more fun, I am requesting your help to stock my classroom with hands-on math learning manipulatives and games.

My students enjoy playing games, and adding an academic twist to it will help reinforce skills they have been focusing on. I use small groups on a daily basis. These regrouping kits, dry erase boards, and other hands-on items will immensely help my students reach academic and social goals. Thank you for your contributions to my classroom!
