My Project

As the youngest in the building, my students are learning self-help skills. We have spills and accidents often. With your help, my students will feel confident in pouring their own water and/or using the bathroom by themselves. Accidents happen and that is ok. When they do happen, having clothes for them to be able to change into helps to relieve a sometimes stressful or anxiety-filled experience for the students.

Independence helps with growth, emotionally and physically.

The pillow is for the cozy corner so the students have a place to sit after they have changed themselves. Some students may need a minute to collect themsleves (their safe space in the classroom). It is great to have a space for calmness and peace.

The snacks are for those students who are unable to bring food for snack time but need a meal before they go home. For some students the food given in school is their only meals of the day.
