Just the Basics for Day to Day Maintenance

Help me give my students the basic necessities. We need basic cleaning supplies, writing supplies, paper for copies. Oh and a dry erase board that actually erases.

My Students

As a speech and language provider, I see children with various communication weaknesses such as: understanding information that is spoken to them, being able to write down their thoughts, answers or ideas in grammatically correct sentences while remaining on topic in correct sequence, being able to produce speech sound associated with each letter correctly, being able to encode and decode, understand the content of a passage and answer questions about it, understand how sounds are combined to formulate words, how words can be broken down into smaller sounds when trying to read unfamiliar words, being able to carry our multi-step directives.

We are a Title I school which means that the majority of students qualify for free lunch.

Many parents that work two jobs which means less overall communication among family members due to the decreased amount of time spent together. Several of my students do not have access to technology once they leave school. They have a true desire to express their thoughts, feelings, ideas, and answers and want therapy to be presented in a fun and creative ways. I love seeing students succeed. More success occurs when they remain interested and invested in the activity.

My Project

My students don't have any where in my room to express themselves other than on paper and we are running out of that. The dry erase board will allow them to get up and become more involved in their written expression. In addition I can provide them with more stimulation if I had a usable board in the room. Cleaning supplies are necessary to keep the environment as virus free as possible; we need the children to remain healthy so they can attend our session and thus make more gains academically. I am hoping to encourage them to more creative during expression.
