Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Imagine being a preschool teacher of three-year-olds who are eager to learn and see themselves engaging in work . Using ink comes in handy because I am able to print pictures of my students doing various activities and task throughout the day for evidence of student work, engagement and social emotional support. Students love to be able to see themselves on the wall and say at this young age "that that is me". By being granted ink i can scan my resources and print them to deliver to parents who need materials. Ink will help my students strengthen and gain their fine motor skills so that they are able to write their name and practice letter and number writing throughout the year. I've also noticed how they make fine motor activities more engaging especially when it comes to themed printouts for practice. We also wouldbuse sand and play dough for fine motor strength.
