About 1/4 of the students in my Alabama classroom do not have an Internet connection at home. The children become very excited when allowed to use and create materials in the classroom. Most children do not have free access to color printers due to the cost. As a primary school teacher, I want to make my classroom inviting and exciting. The children are eager to learn. Any reading or math materials which look like fun yet can be used to reinforce learning just making the learning cycle easier. The students can take the games home for extra practice and parent involvement. Our world is full of beautiful colors so why shouldn't our classrooms contain the same extraordinary sights? Imagine the disappointment of a small child who has worked very hard to create a story and insert pictures to match when describing a rainbow only to see it print in black and white, hardly the effect they expected! Please help my class become exciting, interesting and colorful!
