Pre-K Prints to Enhance Learning

My students need a color printer for our classroom to support our visual learners. Every new topic we learn in our curriculum needs visual photos to enhance their learning experience with visual aids.

My Students

I have 17 Pre-K students in my class. My students come from diverse backgrounds, cultures and abilities, many being English Language Learners. Many of these students need hands-on materials and visuals to understand and learn better. My students come in every morning eager to learn new things. They are all so unique and individual in their own way, each contributing something special to our class.

Our Pre-K class is a special place where little things means a lot.

We are not just a class but a family. My students do not just learn academically but socially too. It may be difficult for 4 year olds to learn proper social skills but not in this classroom. These children have all learned how to be a good friend, how to care for others, how to show respect, how to communicate feelings the right way and most importantly how to be kind. My goal is to provide all students with multiple opportunities for hands-on experiences and student-inquiry based lessons to help them achieve academic success and build a foundation for all future learning.

My Project

A color printer in our classroom could allow for endless possibilities that incorporate technology and visual aids into every lesson. Students can use the Internet to look for pictures or printables that will help them with a project and print them, in color, right from our very own classroom.

Young learners learn best with visuals and through hands on experiences.

Colorful prints can be printed and laminated to be added to all centers of our classroom. Students can have color pictures as inspiration in the art and blocks center, or color pictures in the science center to aid in exploration and discovery. Color pictures can also be printed and laminated as labels for the classroom to create a print rich environment for all learners.

My students are currently working on writing their own stories in 3 page booklets. A color printer can help students print pictures to go with their story or print pictures of themselves to create an author page. When students are finished, they can publish their work by laminating their stories and creating a piece of work they can always remember.
