My students need a color printer in order to meet the state standards to be able to publish their performance tasks and create thought-provoking projects.

My Students
Many of my students have special needs and struggle with reading and writing especially with meeting the Common Core Standards. However, they love to read and love lots of positive attention from their peers and teachers alike.
Many of the students are being raised in single parent households and are currently in a Title One school due to their economic status.
These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me.
I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day, and make it as exciting and rewarding as possible. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.
My Project
I need a color printer to use in my classroom to enable the students that do not have access to a printer to create meaningful projects with technology. Having a printer in my classroom will also help encourage the amount of students who don't complete the assignment due to the lack of resources at home and in school. I am in a school of roughly 1,000 students with two computer labs and only one black/white printer in each. Only one printer works and it is very old.
Clearly, it is evident that a printer is needed for my classroom.
It will be put to good use and will put a smile on the childrens' faces. They will be proud to display their hard work on the bulletin boards in the classroom and in the hallways.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
