Learning in Color

Help me give my students the ability to learn in color with color ink for my printer. I make individualized communication boards, social stories, and classroom visuals that all need to be printed in color.

My Students

My students have aspirations of being superheroes, police officers, ballerinas, doctors, firefighters, architects, princesses, teachers, and astronauts. Each of them is unique with an abundance of strengths and abilities. They range in age from 3 to 12, all with one area of commonality: they have delays in their language development that makes learning and communicating an everyday challenge.

My youngest students are desperate to acquire vocabulary and expressive language skills to share the adventures of their days, while my older students are hungry to understand and find academic success in their classrooms.

My Project

Creating materials that motivate my students and encourage continuous learning is a never ending task. I take deep pride in the individualized interactive books, social stories, communication boards, and curriculum-based materials I make and adapt for all my students' needs. However, making all of these materials uses up printer ink quickly, and the cost of printer ink adds up. I believe that money should not be the stumbling block for any student's learning. Your contribution that will allow me to print these individualized educational tools will be much appreciated, and I assure you aid in the learning of many students.
