I teach Deaf and Hard of Hearing students at a high-poverty, inner-city K-8 school. Each of my students have a hearing loss ranging from mild to profound. Some of my students communicate with American Sign Language, others rely on spoken English, and others use a combination of both.
My class is unique in that they are closely paired with the regular education classroom.
Many of the hearing students know American Sign Language (ASL) because of a relative who is Deaf.
My Project
I have requested some basic supplies for my students to help them have more success in the classroom. I have requested Kleenex and paper towels because flu and cold season is approaching. My students need sanitary ways to tend to their colds. I have requested pencils to distribute to my students and printer ink so they can print their work in color.
My students want to learn, but often a lack of appropriate supplies hinders their ability.
I need your help to give them the basic supplies they need to combat cold and flu season, as well as supplies to help them with their day to day academics.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
