My Project

Students in third grade are engaging with technology each day. Students complete a great deal of hard work on the laptops we have in our classroom. When the work is completed, we are always eager to put it on display. It allows students to feel proud of themselves and gives them a self-confidence boost to know they have overcome a challenge and completed wonderful work. We try to print everything in color to brighten the room, enhance the content, and really display their efforts as best as we possibly can. We also love to display labeled colorful pictures in our classroom to best support English Language Learning. This has been a great help to our kiddos. Additionally, we print materials for activities in our classroom.

When students are not on laptops and we are not printing their hard work to put on display, students are working with hands-on, color-coded, engaging materials in small-groups.

We try to ensure we always have ink on hand for our printer so that we can maintain this level of group work with appropriate activities for all students, including our special education students who really benefit from this as well. We can't wait to keep our classroom engaging, supportive, and colorful with the ink we hope to receive!
