My Project

The printer I got from Donors Choose has made an amazing contribution to my teaching and student learning. But alas, I am running out of ink.

These ink refills will keep my printing to the end of the year so why not brighten up some copies with brightly colored paper and give students the opportunity to cherish their work longer by preserving them with a laminator?

In my Math and Science classrooms, the 6th graders are going to love the extra pops of color to add to their joy of learning.

The creativity flowing through my mind as to how these tools will enhance my classroom is filling me with anticipation for the work the students will do in the second semester. Some ideas I have are colorful math models and laminated blueprints of cell models. I am looking forward to the inspiration this Donors Choose project will bring.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
