My students cannot wait until the springtime so we can take advantage of the butterfly kit.

My school has limited funding for workbooks and such, so my fellow teachers and I were often left to source out our own materials and print them at home. For this project I had requested a new classroom printer that could quickly and efficiently print the materials needed to succeed.
