Thirsty Authors

Help me give my students a printer. By donating, these budding authors will have the ability to print directly in our class. They will also be able to quench their thirst without leaving our room.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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 Project

With our students writing essays and entering contests, it is important to have printers they can utilize for this purpose. We are working on our writing skills, and it is important to have printed samples that we can revise and edit. Our authors get thirsty throughout the day, and the water donation and bottles will help to quench the thirst of these budding authors.

With your printer donation to my class, we will be able to print our essays and additional papers.

We will be able to print worksheets to practice other skills we utilize in writing. We will practice using correct subject and verb agreement and adjectives to make our writing more colorful and interesting to our readers.

Thank you for your kind donation
