My Students

I will be teaching a class of multicultural fourth graders that are a mixture of ELD, special needs, and gifted students. They are eager students who are ready to learn and try their best.

Almost a third of our students come from low income families who cannot provide them with the resources they need to help give their children the best education possible.

These students are the ones on the free or reduced-price lunch list.

With the diverse students in my class, I always find myself modifying everything I teach.

My Project

Year after year, I am finding myself asking for ink through DonorsChoose.org or from the parents in my classroom. This becomes a hostel sometimes. Recently one of my colleagues introduced me to HP Instant Ink and I was mind blown!

Where has this been my whole life and why didn't I hear of this before!?

I can't afford to pay about $60 every time I need to replenish my ink; however, I don't mind paying $5 a month to get the ink I need for all my project or assignment. I will be using the printer to print out colorful papers we can put up around our class and to give to my students.

I will use Instant Print wirelessly to meet our colorful needs without spending an arm and a leg. This is exactly what I need for my personal and classroom use! Thank you in advance for your support in my classroom.
