My Students

I was recently placed into an ICT classroom as special education support in order to assist the students with special needs. We often need a great deal of support as far as utilizing technology and differentiating work to meet the needs of each scholar. This requires a great deal of printing, especially for such a large class. The ink will help us to keep our printer working in order to be able to meet the different needs in our classroom.

Additionally, Many of my students are forced to sit down in hard chairs for hours on end due to the nature of the curricula used in the school.

There are not many opportunities for my students to move their bodies throughout the day as a result of a hard push on data driven material. Giving my students flexible seating will help them to move their bodies and sit comfortably and without causing a disruption in the classroom would make a world of difference for them. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about and consider funding our project!

My Project

Both the ink and the flexible seating will help my students soar this year! Many of my students have special needs and require a great deal of differentiated materials. With only one printer in the entire school for staff to use, our classroom can sure benefit from ink for our own personal printer to ensure students have materials available to them as needed. The flexible seating will help us get our wiggles out after forced to sit for hours on end throughout the day as a result of crazy curriculum demands. Thank you so much for considering this project. It will be a HUGE help in making our classroom a success!
