We are an amazing class of lucky first graders with an awesome new curriculum that focuses on local and global issues. Students experience real-world projects, problems, and solutions hands-on. Students work through multiple steps to arrive at a product which answers big ideas such as: Building Strong Communities, Animals Surviving and Thriving, and Resources in our Communities. They provide critical thinking responses and feedback to improve each other’s work. To accomplish this, students have immediate access to pictures of their work throughout the day. Our black and white printer doesn’t provide depth and value of their creations nor does it show details of the piece or structure they have built. By having a color printer in the classroom, the pictures they take will immediately support growth and learning through explanation and opportunities to receive specific feedback from peers. This allows students to grow and stretch their thinking by making timely modifications. A color printer also gives students opportunity to view images clearly when trying to depict details. Imagine their joy when classmates experience a creation through their eyes!
