Help me give my students a color printer in our classroom to make printing brightly colored posters, center learning activities, and certificates possible.
My first grade classroom is filled with students who are enthusiastic, curious, and eager to learn. They are working hard on becoming readers, writers and building math skills. My students have a wide range of academic needs, from just learning to read basic CVC words, to asking when they can try out chapter books.
Our school is located in a rural part of East Tennessee where over 75% of our students qualify for free and reduced lunches.
Many of their homes lack the educational resources that they need to grow. My hope is to fill their classroom with a variety of materials that engage and excite them, while meeting their individual academic needs.
My Project
As a first year teacher, I am working towards building up a variety of resources to provide for my students. This project is an attempt to add a color printer and a credit towards the purchase of ink to our classroom. We are currently without any type of printer in the classroom. With the addition of a printer, I can easily print colorful posters to display in our classroom. We often use games and materials in our learning centers that would be much more engaging for students if they were able to be printed and displayed in color.
The printer will be used daily to help provide my students with engaging materials that will enhance their learning.
Having a printer in our classroom will also allow me to be more efficient. I will be able to print resources for my students when they are needed rather than waiting until I am at home in the evening.
