FIFTH grade IN (K) color
Funded Oct 15, 2024Thank you so much for all your generous donations. Ink is so important and essential to an efficiently run classroom yet so very expensive.
We rely on printing our own homework sheets, mini anchor charts, reference sheets, worksheets, assessments, anchor charts to create posters (as seen in the pictures), graphic organizers, teacher materials, IEPs and so much more.
Having our own printer saves us time and allows us to dedicate time to other parts of planning for instruction.
Thank you so much!!”

We painted step by step. Students followed directions. They sketch, mix colors and use different strokes and created a beautiful masterpiece.

INK for a COLORFUL year in FIFTH Grade
Funded Aug 11, 2023We have been lucky to be funded once again for our printer ink. Ink is such an essential component of our teaching materials. We print many resources and instructional materials for our students. They are used for differentiating activities and for supporting instruction. Having color printing available is helpful for students that benefit from that additional visual support. However, most students prefer the use of color as well.
Having a working with printer with ink is important for us to have in many ways. We are thankful.”
