My Project

I am a Special Education teacher in a school that is specialized to serve students with various needs, including Autism. This year I will be teaching a 6:1:1 class full of incredible, curious, fun-loving and energetic k-2 students! Each of my students have a range of abilities and learn in many different, unique ways. Most of my students are non-verbal, and require various supports to be successful in their learning. They have communication, sensory, fine/gross motor and processing needs. They are more focused and excited about learning if the activities and materials are highly engaging. They are particularly engaged in interactive activities that are colorful and hands-on. In special education, being able to provide students with colorful visuals is essential.

With HP instant ink gift cards, laminating sheets, printer paper and Velcro my team and I can provide engaging, high quality, colorful resources that provides my students with access to learn new and challenging skills that can stimulate their retention, participation, and boost active learning.

Last years project of a color printer gave me a chance to make a difference in my classroom and enabled me to create differentiated materials, such as posters, visual aids, charts, activities, and assignments for my students. Access to a color printer in my classroom has made our daily activities fun, engaging, and visually appealing. I would love to continue to use the printer to provide my students with fully colored visual aids, schedules, decodable books, and task boxes to support IEP goals- all of which are beneficial to my students. Continuing to make such awesome resources requires ink, and lots of it. I am asking for Hp instant ink access so I can have ink delivered to me monthly, laminating sheets, Velcro, and printer paper.
