My project is to provide my students with access to learning tools and materials printed in color. Many reading and writing resources need to be printed and right now I only have a black and white printer to use, which to say the least is...boring. My students deserve the best because they are the best! As first graders, I want them to be engaged in their learning and one of the ways that I can make that happen is to provide them a classroom that is inviting, print-rich, and colorful. Many of my students do not have the background knowledge and life experiences that students from higher socioeconomic statuses have, so I need to give it to them in more creative ways. One of the ways that I can provide them with these life experiences is through the use of materials printed in real-life color- signs, graphics, images, pictures of the world, words with matching pictures, vocabulary cards, etc. If my students can't experience the world and all of its many colors firsthand, I will bring it to life for them through the use of a colored printer and ink.
