This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I work as a speech provider in a Title I-funded school in NY, where most students are from lower-income, immigrant, single-parent, or grandparent households. They come from many backgrounds and speak many languages. All my students are language-delayed and qualify for Special Education services.
Teaching kids with disabilities requires a lot of love, patience, and enthusiasm.
Like any other children, they want to succeed, but the learning does not come easily for my kids. Their living or learning situations are not ideal. The comfort, structure, and predictability of traditional classroom instruction are gone. My students keep showing up in my in-person or virtual classroom with smiles, happy to see their friends, ready to learn together and be kids.
My Project
My students love using bright and exciting materials for their projects and story retell. They need lots of visual support to help them learn and grow. New ink for our color printer will provide opportunities for my students to add color and creativity to their individual work. It will provide hands-on materials for them to customize their creations and support their learning. New colorful pages and printouts will make our learning so much fun! My boys and girl will express their emotions through the colorful art projects. Our colorful collages will showcase our work and make our speech room such an inviting and safe place!
