We're Jammin, Special Needs Class Needs New Printer
My students need a color printer for the classroom to engage and enhance their learning.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rivera's classroom raised $350
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach in a Title one school in the South Bronx. The students are a mix of African American, Latino and some new arrivals from the Middle East and Africa. The school goes from Pre-K to fifth grade and over 95% percent receive free lunch.
The students in my classroom are all special needs students.
They all have individual educational plans (IEPs). They vary in their needs from learning disabilities to social emotional needs.
When planning classroom activities and conducting evaluations, I keep IEP goals and outcomes in mind. I also keep the IEP in mind to determine how to collect and evaluate student progress toward educational goals.
My Project
Students with special needs or learning disorders benefit from color printing in the classroom. Color can be used to highlight or contrast text so reading for details or key information is easier. Photos and other text features will appear clearer and more engaging.
Students get excited about school when learning is interesting and fun.
They can create projects and reports that are more vivid. My students will be able to type up their reports and add photos, tables and graphs that make their writing more meaningful to them. The culture of the classroom will also improve through the display of student's projects that they are proud of.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
