So often I want to print something off in class, but have to wait until I get home to do it. I wanted to be able to quickly print resources and materials for my class in the moment. While I have printed many, many things over the last few weeks, the thing I have used the most is the copier! I had no idea just how handy it would come in. \r\n\r\nWhen students are absent, I am able to make colored copies of the notes/examples that we do together in class to send home with students. We do a lot of work in our class workbooks, which I am hesitant to send home with students because if they lose them, they lose their work. Now I am able to make copies of the pages they need to take home. \r\n\r\nThis week we were working on an essay, which I had modeled on the front board. Some students needed the visual at their desks or to take home. I was able to quickly print off the models for them, which were in color, to help them. This week, I used this new printer/copier more than my normal classroom printer. \r\n\r\nSeveral students in my classes receive special education services and have a variety of needs. Just this week, our OT was looking for samples for one of my student's writing. Again, I was able to quickly copy their work to give the therapist so she could see exactly where their needs are and offer some suggestions for support. \r\n\r\nWhen I told the other middle school teachers about it, they were concerned about how expensive the ink was for it. They couldn't believe it when I told them how long the ink lasts and how reasonably priced it is. (I have the same machine at home and recommend it to anyone looking for a printer!) They all know that they are welcome to use it or send me things to print off for them as well so that even more students can benefit from it!\r\n\r\nThis device isn't a \"little\" thing by any means, but it is amazing how sometimes the \"little\" things can make such a big impact in the classroom. I cannot even begin to truly express how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1789065784325,"projectUrl":"project/a-colorful-world/10600684/","projectTitle":"A Colorful World","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kilgore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp120549_orig.jpg?crop=283,283,x302,y204&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1557790462388","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kellykilgore"},{"teacherId":6193467,"projectId":10723464,"letterContent":"Our students had a wonderful time at our school-wide Trunk or Treat!
