My Project

I love that my 6th grade students are curious, creative, and eager to express their ideas in powerful ways. In both my English and History classes, I teach a diverse group of learners, including English Learners and Honors students, and they all thrive when given the opportunity to communicate their knowledge visually. A poster printer would allow them to turn their writing, research, and historical analysis into vibrant, professional-quality displays. Whether they’re creating persuasive posters for a novel study or timelines and infographics for historical events, this tool will support differentiated learning, build confidence, and help every student, regardless of language level or academic background, take pride in their voice and ideas. It will transform our classroom into a space where student thinking is visible, celebrated, and shared. Your generosity will go far in helping bring this vision to life for my students!
