My Project

These materials will help students in this brand new classroom by giving them stimulating books and puzzles, which can be used in rotation to keep the puzzle shelf and library new and exciting on a regular basis. The timer, chime, and weighted vests will help students with transitioning from one activity to another throughout the day and regulating their emotions.

Mr. Rogers said "Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me".

Our Donors Choose patrons truly are heroes, helping classrooms learn and grow every year. The students in this classroom are a diverse group who are learning to come together as a classroom family and these materials will help our classroom family thrive.
