My Project

My classroom is a special education setting with a diverse mix of intensive intervention students. We print a lot! I am always creating various activities that are easily manipulated by students with unique learning abilities. This can be a math activity that is laminated to use dry erase markers, or an ELA assignment using Velcro dots to stick the answer to the page for those who cannot write. Having a printer in our room would make creating these activities easier for myself and my TA.

In special education, manipulatives work best when they are colorful.

There is one color printer in our school but, using the color printer takes up a lot of ink that takes away from the rest of the school. Having our own color printer would be a gift and we would not need to worry about taking away from another classroom.
