My Students

Our classroom is tired of printing with "Invisible Ink!" I tell my students that the reason their worksheet is so faint, is that we use Invisible Ink. I say it in jest, but it really is frustrating with all these budget cuts to try and generate work for, or print the work of my students.

My class loves to learn and I always try to include supplemental projects or materials to enrich the curriculum.

However, due to cuts, we are severely limited in resources, including ink for printing. My students are very eager, very hungry fourth graders who are not only limited with resources at home, but also in their own classrooms. They strive to perform their very best and come motivated to school. Due to state and local budget cuts, we are severely depleted from the most basic of materials, including ink and printing paper.

My Project

I am requesting ink in order to be able to print enriching material for our curriculum and some of their projects, such as their biographies on such historic figures as Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Isaac Newton, to name a few. They spent a lot of time and effort researching, writing, and finally typing their work. But when we try and print, even in the "high quality" setting, their work comes out faint and blurred.

When students take such efforts and pride in their work, they love to see it displayed!

They take a lot of pride in what they do, and seeing their illustrations in color and high quality only encourages them to keep striving and achieving, especially when their parents see it displayed on one of our classroom's bulletin boards.
