My Project

Adding a Smart Board to our classroom will allow students to learn beyond the limitations of our current white board and chart paper.

As we are a classroom of learners that have mild to moderate disabilities, a Smart Board can benefit kids with disabilities that include limitations on hearing, vision, and mobility!

Students may find success reading from an interactive whiteboard, as the text can be expanded, highlighted, and bolded. The bright and clear visuals of a Smart Board will better assist our special education and English language learners with vocabulary acquisition and reinforce previous concepts.

Please consider donating to a cause that will allow our learners to better reach their goals!
