Many students are visual and have the need to improve their motor skills in the first grade. With the use of the HP 6968 series copier, reproducing materials in the classroom is effortless. Children enjoy cutting, coloring, and pasting to create projects. This also helps children who have difficulty writing answers; now they have another way to demonstrate what they know or have learned. Fun worksheets can give me an idea of any gaps or misunderstandings in learning. I would use projects as a chance to conference with students about their work. They can tell me if they understood what was expected or not. Hand outs are used as a final observation by me assess where the class is in their understanding. I can determine if I need to reteach and what to reteach.
