My Project

This school year, we have run out of paper at least three times!

Our students have just begun writing assignments, utilizing figurative speech.

Many have composed beautiful stories and poetry, but they are written mostly by hand in their journals.

Not only does seeing their stories in print, enhance the presentation of their written work, but learning to type saves time, allowing their dictation to keep up with the speed of their thoughts, "typing does improve visual motor integration as the eyes guide the hands," explains Yoder.

Being able to print out the stories and poems they have created would not only boost their self-esteem and pride in their work, but they would be able to print what they have completed. I would like to request two cases of 8 x 11.5-inch copy paper so that I can print out student handouts and their typed work/compositions.

We can also publish and post physical copies of their best works. My students are hard workers and many prefer an actual copy of the assignment and saving it online.
