Printing Pretty Pictures

Help me give my students hands-on activities that are in full color. Colorful activities help to stimulate their imaginations and lure them in.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shaw's classroom raised $260

My Project

My students are fun, curious, and enthusiastic about learning. I provide a lot of colorful, hands-on activities to supplement our curriculum but do not have access to a color printer at school.

Activities printed in color are much more appealing and fun to manipulate than typical black and white activities.

I currently spend hundreds of dollars out of my own pocket each year to print these at home on an old printer that uses expensive cartridges. Not only is this expensive, but it cuts into my family time and bogs down our landfills. I love to recycle and help our planet and this printer would help me to cut down on waste while also being able to complete projects at school and not at home.

These activities are usually the highlight of the school day for my students. They allow me to differentiate in a fun way and also take pictures of their work to share with their families. I would love to be able to continue sparking their interest and imagination with a brand new printer!
