The first thing we did was use the first package of film to take silly pictures to show the students how the photo printer and paper work. A side note was how the printer, prints one color at a time. The students love watching the film go in and out of the printer, first yellow, than cyan, and finally magenta and that somehow makes it full color! \r\n\r\nI then took a photo of each student and created a Star student section on the bulletin board. Students loving placing their photo there for the week. I also made a Multiplication facts Masters board. When students reach 100% of their facts their photo is added. \r\n\r\nIn the future the plan is to bring the printer and paper with me on field trips and on the bus ride back to school print photos for students who could not bring a camera with him.
