Help me give my students a color printer for our classroom to show our work!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. McDerby's classroom raised $201
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach in a 6th grade, self-contained classroom in which each student has an IEP and struggles with some type of learning disability. My students are very tactile and also benefit from technological aids and assistance. They are very distractible; however when they are involved and focused on an activity or lesson plan they exhibit great enthusiasm.
My students all learn in very different ways and present a number of challenges socially and emotionally as well as academically.
I teach English Language Arts as well as Social Studies.
My Project
This project will allow students to create visual materials that can be saved in portfolios in the future. These portfolios can include materials such as study aids, personalized graphic organizers, charts, tables, and other learning tools. These tools have proven to be the most successful in teaching subjects such as math and science inside the classroom.
In addition, this printer can be helpful in creating more meaningful science projects and labs that can be scaffolded based on the needs of my students.
By using models and other materials, students can build open their prior levels of understanding and can also learn to create and design their own materials with our new classroom color printer.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
