My Students
My students are 96 fantastic and intelligent kids from the NYC area. They come from various cultural backgrounds and languages, creating a truly unique and diverse classroom.
Many of them are new to this country and struggle with reading and writing, especially with meeting the Common Core Standards.
Additionally, I have several students who do not speak any English at all. These students are quiet and introverted, afraid to even speak. Many students are being raised in single parent households and are currently in a Title One school due to their economic status. These situations unfortunately have prevented them from getting ahead early in life and have not provided them with the life experiences many of us see "typical." However, from the moment they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. Since many lack access to technology in the home, I am motivated to provide these tools for them even more.
My 10 and 11 year old students need stimulating and enthralling academic exposures in order to help solidify the content they are learning.
My Project
I need a printer to use in my classroom to enable the students that do not have access to a printer to create meaningful projects with technology. Having a printer in my classroom will also help encourage the amount of students who don't complete the assignment due to the lack of resources at home and in school. I am in a school of roughly 1,000 students with two computer labs and only one printer in each.
Clearly, it is evident that a printer is needed for my classroom.
It will be put to good use and will put a smile on the childrens' faces. They will be proud to display their hard work on the bulletin boards in the classroom and in the hallways.
My students would be able to print poetry books, essays and so much more. A whole new world of publishing will open up for them. As they create both independent and collaborative projects, they will have the satisfaction of watching their hardworking come to life on paper. They will have the tools they need to excel and feel confident in what they produce.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
