This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
We are a small school filled with big hearts. We are a very close knit school with a population of about 470 students in all. My third grade class is filled with 15 little smiles daily. Many of my students are high achievers and some are gifted education students. They are extremely hard workers and they love projects. My school is a Title I school, in which most students are from low income families and receive free or reduced lunch. It's my job to ensure they get the best education they can receive, regardless of their circumstances.
My Project
My students love projects. My gifted students love working on projects and a color printer in our classroom would make building their projects more enjoyable. The third grade teams shares one printer and if my students find a colorful picture that will attract attention to their project or create a great chart to help organize their information for their project, we have to interrupt another class to print it. A color printer in the classroom will allow them to print their resources then and be able to complete their projects with ease, without disturbing any one else's learning process while we work.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
