My Project

My students have learning disabilities. They learn better when they have materials in color and hands-on projects. We do not have a printer to use that prints in color. We usually do projects in black and white.

I am hoping to add a color printer to our classroom so we might do some of our projects in color.

We do special writing projects around different holidays. My students will be more excited to write on colorful materials. This also can be displayed in common areas of our school. I believe this will bring a sense of pride to my students.
