Keep the momentum going! Make a donation to Ms. Shuster for her next project!

My students and I are in need of your help! I teach special education, kindergarten through third grade. The school is new and does not have a lot of supplies and resources for teachers.

My students need modifications to their curriculum in order to learn. I need to adapt each book we read with interactive symbols in order for them to grasp the subject being taught. I face the challenge of teaching health and sensory skills this coming year and I need all the resources I can get to assist me in teaching my students and helping them learn to their fullest potential.

If I receive these books that I need to help my students, I think that they will really strive. They need the additional visual supports in order to make learning easier for them. Having these books to adapt will make it easier and more interesting for them to learn about health. Even students with autism deserve and need to learn about the important subject of health education, just at their own level of understanding.

Your help will ensure that I will receive the resources that I need in order to make a difference for my students. My students and I need your help to make this miracle (of teaching) possible.
