My Project

Kids love color! And, I must admit, I do too! I teach in a different hallway from my 2nd-grade teammates, and the school's color printer is located in the far end of the building. Being able to print student work in color without leaving my classroom would be a convenient and wonderful thing.

My students LOVE to write and create graphics on their chrome books, and if they knew they could print in color, their motivation would SOAR!

Color ink is expensive. I often feel guilty when I use it. Knowing that generous donors are making this possible would alleviate the guilt. My students would take pride in being able to show and save hard copies of work rather than relying on digital images.

Finally, bright colored paper, books, and organizational supplies will add to my already colorful room. These basic supplies are so much more that others often realize. They bring joy into a room, and truly COLOR MY CLASSROOM HAPPY!
