A printer and ink would help the students add visual aids to their upcoming projects. A printer and ink would also allow students to publish their writing and provide a showcase to their parents/guardians/friends that they could be proud of. This year, students will compose four major essays. Students are more excited about their finished work when printed than handwritten. Also, when students complete posters and handouts, they like to include pictures for visual aids. As a teacher, it is required to have a hard copy of lesson plans. However, at my school, it's nearly impossible to print anything due to other teachers already printing out copies, the copier/printer being locked in a room, or copier/printer not connected and not working. Having my lesson plans printed and prepared allows me to be organized and teach my students more efficiently. Also, students do not have to leave the room to print their essays/visual aids they want to include in projects. When my students show positive PBIS behaviors, such as showing safety, organization, positive attitude, and responsibility, they are given a smiley face. For every ten smiley faces students get for showing these positive behavior traits, they get to go into the prize bin. This helps so much with keeping negative behaviors out of the classroom. Students are aware of their expectations and work hard to not only get a prize but show safety and be a good leader to classmates as well. For example, my students love erasers, toys, pencils, and colored pencils. These are things that I add to the prize bin.
