My Project

I'm a Special Education teacher in Seattle. My class has a mix of scholars from 2nd-5th grade, with a wide variety of strengths and growth areas.

While my school covers many of the basics, I have scholars who:

* have very limited foods they will eat

* need to fiddle with sensory toys in order to be able to listen

* have really big feelings, and need sensory stimuli and activities and additional resources to calm down

My school does its best, but they simply don't have the resources to give my Special Ed students everything they need to thrive. But, I want my students to have everything they need!

If you donate to my campaign, you will be:

* giving me materials and help support in getting additional adaptive materials to create and improve lessons (the laminating sheets and TPT Gift Card)

* giving my students snacks that will fill their bellies and help enable them to pay attention and learn (snacks)

* giving me sensory tools that will let me defuse big feelings and help my scholars focus (sensory tools).

Thank you for reading. And if you choose to contribute, thank you so much!
