My Project

A passion of mine in terms of my classroom is to create a warm, welcoming environment for the students to learn in. I know that I learn best, and feel the most comfortable, in a warm environment that someone has put thought into. My goal is to do just that for students! For every unit we study I love to make posters and create visuals to hang around the room. I love when I see students engaging with these posters, and even asking deeper level questions about what they are seeing! I would love to continue this work, keeping students engaged, motivated and curious!

I would love to be able to print in color and bring a fresh vibrancy to the students!

I am asking for fresh, color toner as the research suggest, "Printing in color provides several benefits including increased visual appeal, improved information retention, enhanced engagement, and the ability to convey complex information more effectively through vibrant and eye-catching visuals." This time of year, students start to look to what's next, almost hitting a mid year slump. My goal is to keep students motivated and create an appealing environment that they ALMOST don't want to leave.
