My Students
My students are a diverse group of 4th graders. They are diverse racially, ethnically, socioeconomically and in terms of their academic strengths and abilities.
My school is a progressive public school in the big city.
At our school, students learn about social and emotional growth in addition to academic learning. Our school was founded on learning about, and working to attain, social justice.
There are a lot of opportunities for small group and partner work in our school, so all of the students in each class really get to know each other as learners and as people.
My Project
I was out of the classroom for 6 months during the Covid pandemic. When I returned to set up my classroom in September 2020, my new classroom printer had been smashed. I knew right away that I needed another one.
A classroom printer may seem like an extravagance, but it is vital to the daily running of the classroom.
I use it to print out extra worksheets, book bin labels, and most importantly student work. We use the copier function to photocopy childrens' work quickly, sometimes so they can make a new version of writing or art work that they made a mistake on. Also, if students feel self conscious about drawing, we allow them to choose and print images to illustrate their work.
This year, the printer will be most vital. I will use it to print out my remote students' work, so I can hang it up in the classroom. This way, the hybrid students can feel more connected with the remote students through seeing their work.
More than half of students from low‑income households
