My Project

My fifth graders in Louisiana use French to explore history, explain scientific ideas, and solve math problems. One of the most rewarding parts of teaching French immersion is watching them gain the confidence to share their thinking in another language. As a veteran teacher, I have spent years creating and adapting classroom materials, but I have never had a color printer in my classroom.

A classroom color printer would help my students participate in an exchange with an elementary classroom in Belgium, my native country.

A childhood friend who now teaches there has begun sending documents for my students, including resources designed to be printed in color. I would like to give them the full experience of these materials, preserving the illustrations and visual details that support their understanding. This exchange would give students a personal connection to another French-speaking community and a meaningful reason to read, write, and communicate in French.

The HP Smart Tank 7603 would support this exchange and our everyday learning. I would also use it to print illustrated vocabulary cards, color maps, science diagrams, and reading activities. These visual supports are especially useful when students are learning new content in their second language. The refillable ink tanks would help keep ongoing printing costs manageable, allowing me to make color resources a regular part of instruction throughout the school year.
