My Project

I teach 3 special education classes and am lacking resources for students in that room. My students are 1st-5th grade and are at two different schools. Some are autistic and some have other disabilities. These students need different sensory materials to help them through Art. Play-Doh, adaptable scissors, and fidgets would really be great for my students. These materials would help my students to become more creative in the art room, and also be able to take the necessary breaks they need. Please consider donating to this project to help my students!
