My Students

Working in a low-income school, with over 85% of the students receiving free or reduced lunch in the East Village of Manhattan, New York, I have students from diverse backgrounds fill my classroom on a daily basis. As teachers, we know that each student learns differently and can retain information in different ways. Unfortunately, our school does not provide classrooms with colored printers which could support the individual needs of each student. A colored printer would greatly benefit my third graders in a multitude of ways. Enhancing their learning through vibrant images and text across each subject area would increase student engagement with the materials provided. As a small school in the heart of New York City, our funding is limited and we appreciate all the help we can get!

My Project

In order to produce the best work and learning environment possible, my students would benefit from having a colored printer in our classroom. We would love to be able to learn in color for the rest of the school year. We would also appreciate additional ink for when the original set runs out. In our school, we place a heavy emphasis on project based learning. Printing in color, will allow my students to see their creativity become a reality. Color printing will enable my students to have a more definitive understanding of mathematic concepts, scientific inquiry and analysis, as well as literacy skills. Giving students the option to print in color will make publishing our work a more exciting experience!
