The World of Reading in Color!

My Project

This printer will help me create a vibrant bulletin board displaying my students work. The printer will be used to print work, anchor charts, and other visuals for the students to use. The headsets will allow my students to focus on their individual reading and math assignments.

My ultimate goal is to give my students the best of me but most of all the best learning experience in the first grade that would stay with them for the rest of their educational journey.

I work in a low income community that educates students who reside in shelters and/or English Language Learners. My classroom is warm and vibrant. With this color printer the classroom will be more visually pleasing for the students. The colored copies of graphic organizers and anchor charts will catch their eyes without the extra effort of my coloring them in. The headsets will block out all distracting noise.
