My Project

In 4th and 5th grade, writing is an integral part of my student’s learning. As we know, times have changed and traditional pencil and paper writing is replaced by word processing and Google Docs. As digital citizens in the 21st century, my students are working towards becoming more proficient writers and using technology to write essays, biographies, informational essays, poetry and more!

With this new printer, my students will be able to show off their writing skills by printing and showcasing their creative writing!

This will not only increase writing volume but overall student achievement and confidence as writers!

Since the pandemic, my students have shown a significant desire and ability to navigate technology. My goal is to continue to foster my students love for writing and strengthen their digital literacy skills using technology to prepare them for Middle and High school!
