Printing in Color

Help me give my students visual aids to understand activities and assignments tailored to their needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cotten's classroom raised $579

This project is fully funded

My Students

My school is in a large, urban, public school district. We are a Title I school and 100% of the students qualify for free lunch and breakfast. My students are bright, energetic, and they love school. Most are visual, and hands on learners. Students at this age require small group instruction to meet their individual learning needs. Your generous donations will help me meet the individual needs of each student and enhance all aspects of their learning experience.

My Project

The color printer will make a difference in my students' learning because color is engaging! This printer will enable me to create visual aids, charts, activities, and assignments in color for my students. This printer will ensure that we will have the materials needed to create engaging learning for the students at my school. With this printer our daily activities will be fun and more visually appealing. This printer will also give my students the ability to print their work using wireless feature. The possibilities for learning are endless with our new wireless color printer.
