My Students

We're only two weeks into the school year and my students have shown me that they are serious about their learning! With many of them performing on different academic levels, and especially having different interests, I want to continue to encourage and challenge their learning. Despite the resource! You see, my particular group of students are amazing. They thrive with their learning, while being faced with learning disabilities and health impairments that prevent them from learning in a general education setting.

Imagine a group of students who are eager to learn, but have many different interests that you want to satisfy.

For my students, I have come up with one item that will possibly spark their interest while channeling STEM learning! It will also save on money spent making copies. Finally and perhaps most importantly, it is a tool that can be used to create take home visual aids for students as well as engaging bulletin boards displaying student work. This is a huge bonus for students who are visual learners!

My Project

The entire classroom could benefit from the Cameo Educational Bundle. Students with an interest in art are able to sketch and design possible ideas for t-shirts, art contests, and more. Already there are two new students who have a high interest in art design. This would be the perfect resource for them as they are able to learn the process at an early age to continue their interests.

The Cameo Bundle is a resource that will allow me to create visually engaging aids for students to be used in the classroom as well as at home!

Many of my students lack the resources needed at home to support learning. Whether they require sight words, punctuation assistance, or math equations in all of the operations, I will now be able to create these materials for my students with the greatest of ease. Long gone will be the days of going to Office Depot to make copies. I will be able to do these things from the comfort of the classroom! I am so excited about the possibility of my students being able to continue the learning at home!

While I would like to think that I can teach my students about the many benefits of this Cameo, we need the Educational Bundle to provide us with a virtual "how-to" guide and the really important portion on Frequently Asked Questions. This tutorial component is what all of us need because we have never utilized a Cameo, and we certainly do not want it to break!

We really hope that you are able to see the many benefits of this resource. It will truly bring new meaning to creativity while also providing educational support to my students with disabilities!
