I have a class that is full of mathematicians and scientists. The students in my class have abilities that will make them the "Einsteins" of our future. They come from diverse backgrounds and have varying abilities, but they all have the potential to make their mark on this great planet! My students and I live in a rural area in northwest Florida where farming and flying go hand in hand because we have both military bases and farms located within our community.
We are a Title I assist the school, in rural Florida, and just like our hometown heroes, the Navy's Blue Angels, we work hard and "fly" fast in our classroom.
Although we are a small town, we have an extraordinary amount of pride and patriotism and it shows each and every day. I want my students to use collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity throughout our day and to take ownership of their education!
My Project
Our class uses the printer that we received from a previous grant and the ink costs an enormous amount to replace. We will also use the new printer and ink to print fun, engaging lessons as well as student work and projects. The school copy room is overworked and underfunded which makes getting copies a lot harder on teachers.
Printed materials that are placed in a student's hands can make a huge impact on the knowledge gained in an elementary classroom.
Without the printer, I would not have the resources needed to complete many of my lessons. I use colored ink to print out task cards and learning stations for my students to ask questions and make connections.
The HP eco tank printer will allow me to print more copies than the other cartridge-required printer I currently have in my classroom. This printer will also allow me to make last-minute copies. The TPT gift card will help me provide fun engaging activities to be printed in colored ink for the students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
