I teach 22 1st grade students in Ponchatoula Louisiana. We have 63% of students receving free or reduced lunches at our school. My classroom is in great need of a new color printer and some ink catridges. This new printer will benefit all students in my classroom. They will all get to print from it. I have five computers in my classroom but only 1 very old printer. A new printer would liven my class room and my students learning .
Kids love to print their work out on the computer because it makes them take pride in their work. Having a new color printer would give the children in my class the opportunity to add pictures to stories they type. This would then make the students work harder on their work. This new printer would give the children an opportunity to type their stories and pictures.
The students would also be able to make a memory book at the end of the year that will have different memories from them being in first grade.
I also do a lot of computer programs with my students. We would be able to do a program taht I love to do with my kids called Kids Work Deluxe. The students get to make booklets and get to illustrate their pictres. But without having another color printer in my room it is impossible to have all of my students particiapte. A new color printer will also allow some of our crafts that we do for our parents throughout the year to be possible .
I hope that you consider funding this color printer for our classroom. My students and I will be very appreciative.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
