Help me give my students printer ink, cardstock, laminating pouches and a Teacher Pay Teacher gift card so that we can create adaptive books to help my students with vocabulary and other important aspects related to speech.
I work in a school that serves students and their families that fall below the poverty line. Many of our students come to school without their basic needs being met. Even though my students don't have all of their basic needs met, they come to school eager to learn. Their excitement for school and learning keeps me motivated to find fun and engaging activities for them to do, so they can continue to learn. For some, school is their safe place and I do my best to make sure that they feel safe and loved in my classroom.
Our students want to learn but they just need the right tools to help them be successful and engaged in their learning.
Recently, much of the neighborhood around our school where most of our students live, has been struggling with an outburst of violence, making our students feel even less safe than they had before. When I am able to keep them engaged in fun learning activities, it helps to keep their mind off the violence that surrounds them. They enjoy coming to school to learn. I just want to make their learning experience the best possible.
My Project
The supplies that I am requesting will be used to create adaptive books for my students. These books will help my students with vocabulary, inferencing, increase student sentence length when speaking, and many other concepts related to speech and language development for my students.
With these supplies, I will be able to create adaptable books related to our learning units that will help teach concepts and also help my students with their speech and language development in a fun and engaging way.
These supplies will help create books that can be utilized during whole group instruction, small groups, or one-on-one to help students target specific speech and language skills or to reinforce skills that have already been taught.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
