My Project

We are very grateful for the color printer we have in our classroom! It’s hard to believe that in only 6 months, our ink has run out. The convenience of having a printer in the classroom has saved many trips across campus to print out assignments and student work. We have one printer, in one location, for all our special education classes. Without ink in our printer, we are unable to print on the fly, when Chromebooks are broken, Chromebooks are forgotten or students just don’t have the typing skills. Replacement ink cartridges will help the class to continue to run smooth.

After years of wear and tear, calculators from our classroom set have either been broken or their batteries have fallen out.

When sending students to get a calculator, my catch phrase is, “Go get a calculator, and make sure it works before you go back to your seat.”

This extra step adds extra wasted time to our math lessons. My students use calculators daily and consistently give me a hard time about how they function. New calculators will add some excitement about doing math.
