Printing Pathways to Knowledge: Empowering Our 4th Graders

Help me give my students a great 2025-2026 school year filled with fun reading adventures!

My Project

With the requested rug, bean bug chair, and carpet sweeper, students would like to have a cozy reading area in our 4th grade classroom to make them excited about reading! They also do not have access to a printer, and have to regularly wait for me to go home to print things for them. It would be an amazing help to them to be able to print things and laminate them in the classroom, and be able to pivot to what they need in real time. We are a shared classroom so the seat coverings will hold their books as they switch from class to class so they don’t get lost in the shuffle.
