Creative Encounters

Help me give my students a brighter day with color copies and tools needed to foster self-confidence.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are awesome, funny, energetic and I can’t forget smart. This project is for my 6-8th grade middle school IDM (Intellectually Disabled Mild to Moderate) class. My students range in varying disabilities and are all from low-income households. Having color copies will be everything to my students. My students love engaging and learning. A new printer and ink will make each day a little bit brighter with colorful pages instead of a drab black-and-white worksheet. My students are visual learners and added color will surely bring fun and sparks creativity into our class.
