Binding Our Learning

Help me give my students coil-bound books and learning material. Since we are not able to share materials, this has become a huge need for my students.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I am so blessed to provide speech and language therapy to 51 amazing students from a variety of cultural backgrounds in a Title I school district in Texas. Many students access virtual education via a conference platform to receive speech/language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and special education services at home, due to the pandemic.

My Project

The coils would allow me to create durable resources that are individualized for my speech students. I plan on creating adaptive learning books to give my students access to the general education curriculum(s).

I will be able to use the coils to provide students with resources that are authentically on their instructional level and empower them.

My students deserve to have access to resources that will ensure that they are given every opportunity to succeed.

I would like to be able to bind worksheets into workbooks, which would help keep them and me organized. It would also help me meet the individual needs of my students.
