My Project

My classroom needs basic supplies in order to keep my students successful and motivated. This year, I have a wide range of abilities and personalities, and finding the right tools will help make a difference in their education.

In a special education classroom, students can easily become frustrated, anxious, and face many feelings throughout the school day.

Many students, especially special education students, need to fidget when learning or while working. This helps keep their anxiety and frustration levels low.

With your help, these children will be able to focus on their learning with the comfort of knowing their basic school supply needs are being met. I am asking for pre-sharpened pencils to give students easier access to writing, Astro bright paper, in order to make classroom copies for homework and class work. Having the color pages will excite the students! Dry erase boards will be used during centers and assessments: the use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math.

My goal is to provide students with the tools that can help with self-regulation, attention, and calming. They provide sensory stimulation that can allow students to focus on classwork.
