I teach twenty-five happy and excited-to-learn third graders, and all day long they have fun growing and thinking, and trying their best. Our school is a wonderful, small multicultural school located in Los Angeles. Over 35% of the students at our school qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and everyone receives free breakfast. Our school specializes in integrating art and technology with our academic subjects. My students learn best when I generate excitement for learning. When my students work on essays, they love to use a laptop, an iPad, or a Chromebook. I have taught them to email the file to our classroom Gmail account so they can get their essay printed on our classroom laser printer.
My students have been typing up their homework and emailing it to our classroom Gmail account so they can print their work at school on our classroom printer.
In the morning, they grab a classroom laptop and print out their work. This helps inspire my students to practice their typing skills, and it also helps the families of my students because many do not have a working printer at home.
My Project
I love that my students are feeling independent and tech savvy, working on projects on a computer or iPad at home and at school and printing their projects out on our classroom laser printer. Just a few weeks ago, this was a new concept for my students, but now they are able to print without my help! Unfortunately our school no longer provides toner for our classroom printer. This project will provide toner for our printer. The state test in California is entirely done on computers. My students are getting great practice in thinking and typing their ideas and thoughts.
I can't wait to have my students start writing their creative stories and printing them out on our classroom laser printer.
Having toner for our classroom printer will be fantastic!
Thank you, Quill, for offering to help teachers get the resources they need!
