Our school serves students in grades K-8 and provides rigorous academics, fantastic teachers and a safe learning environment. Our goal is to prepare our students for success in high school and college. Our school has a very diverse population with 100% receiving free breakfast and lunch in a total population of about 400 students.
We are an African Immersion school that focuses on the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
My students are so lovable and deserve the best learning opportunities I can give them.
My Project
If we had colored toner for our printer in our classroom, the possibilities would be endless! There are so many educational games and activities that could help encourage and motivate my students, including my PreK students with special needs, that need to be printed in color.
We would be able to print leveled reading books for the kids to take home and read with their parents.
My students who struggle with vocabulary could use colored vocabulary cards to help them learn what things around them are and what they actually look like in color. Lower readers who really don't enjoy reading may fall in love with it if they could look at a book in color and take it home and read with their families. The possibilities are endless, and the benefits we would reap are infinite!
This project would benefit all of my students.
It would help make learning exciting and engaging all while making it individualized. I think the colored toner would continue to inspire my students and promote their passion for learning. My students deserve the chance to learn, think, and create in a 21st century way. Please help us become 21st century learners by putting color technology in our classroom!
