Oh No! Big Bertha Can't Retire Yet!

My students need Big Bertha to get all that she needs to retire. Unfortunately, I forgot all about toner for our new printer (Roscoe).

My Students

They warm my heart. These little, and some not so little, students of mine are the epitome of a challenge. They challenge me to teacher better, work harder and expose this gigantic world to them so that they may gain a better understanding of it. I teach in a title one school, which means that there is a high percentage of children from low-income families. They come from all over the world; Bangladesh, India, Mexico, China, Honduras, etc. My classroom is a melting pot of different cultures. They are all eager to learn and are always ready to devour anything new.

My students are my extended family; always asking questions and in the process, we educate one another, the benefits goes both ways.

Most days they greet me with a smile, and they hardly ever complain, which always amazes me. I honestly could not ask for better students.

My Project

In order for Roscoe (our new soon-to-be printer) to run properly he must have toner. Once he has all that he needs then he can give my students the full academic life that they deserve.

Being that this is going to be Roscoe's first job, I do not want him to feel that he is required to work without the proper tools.

I run a tight ship. There is no way that a printer can work without toner. In all of my haste, and me being a newbie, I totally forgot to request toner. I don't want to disappoint my students. They are so excited about a new printer. When it arrives I would like my students to use it as soon as possible without any bumps. Also, I can hear my students saying, "Really Ms. Archer?" I want the smiles that I receive to remain on their faces.
