How do Maine lobsters survive against all odds? In March, I'll lead all 38 third graders on our lobster expedition that will last through May. Our school doesn't have any color copiers or color printers that can connect to our classroom computers. In my first DonorsChoose project proposal For The Love of Maine Lobsters, I asked for books, an air-pump, and some large drafting paper to get our expedition started and I've already had my second donor. We all love Maine lobster and that motivates us to take time to study their anatomy, habitat, survival skills, and how they impact Maine's economy. One of our final products will be making place mats for local restaurants that teaches others how amazing lobsters really are. We need this high quality HP Color LaserJet to print our final copies of our lobster place mats. This HP Color LaserJet will be shared with other classrooms in our school. Third graders have a second project this spring where they'll be studying the history of their city and making brochures. We would be able to print their brochures on this LaserJet. Please help fund this HP LaserJet so we don't have to keep sending our projects out to be printed at print shops.
