My Project

I teach special education students who have very individualized needs. I desperately need materials to make these specific individualized items for my students. I need cardstock to print materials which will not tear and will last (I send the student materials with them at the end of the school year). I need velcro to add to laminated cardstock so that the materials can be differentiated into their specific learning levels. I also need binders to house these materials so that the students can use them during the appropriate times of the day (ie: morning meeting binder, morning work binder, afternoon work binder, language arts binder, math binder). I also use the cardstock to print out and laminate adapted books for my students. I have been very lucky to have books donated through donors choose and my students need more of them. I was able to get a curriculum approved which provides books in pdf. I have asked my district since the summer and am still waiting. My students matter and I am trying to give them everything they should have. These materials will only help them grow.
