Help me give my students the supplies we need to make supplies last

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Allen's classroom raised $605

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are working on Speech and Language skills in grades Pre-K through 5th grade, but all require speech therapy to help them access their education. Some are working on articulation, expressive/receptive language, fluency, and social communication skills.

My students come from all different walks of life and all have different levels of skills.

I work with all my students to make them the best communicators they can be! I make speech therapy fun and functional for all my students.

My Project

Help me and my students get supplies to help make material that will last. Every special education teacher needs lamination and velcro. Now that my students are coming back in person each student needs their own supplies. When students used to share they can not do that any more.

My students need supplies to last.

Visuals help my students communicate, follow directions, and are use as prompts.

In order to make the visuals I need printer ink, lamination, and velcro to make it interactive. All my students will benefit from this project!
