In Living Color

Help me give my students plain paper, markers, a color printer and a laminating machine to bring stories to life.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gillum's classroom raised $656

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are full of energy and creativity. Having a color printer will help bring maps and stories to life for the students. They will be able to decipher the water and trails lines in the map while we learn about the American Revolution.

The chart paper, markers, and laminating machine will be used to create poster of lesson learned in various subjects.

Lastly our photo printer will be used to share our work with parents and display on our bulletin board. My students love to create and often we have to borrow supplies for other teachers to make our projects really pop. These supplies will provide my students with unlimited possibilities to be creative and show their learning.
