SUMMERVILLE S.C.
She says that her kids prefer to work with paper and pencils for improving fine motor, letter and numbers formation, as well name writing, over using computers.
“Our kids are hands-on and with slower delays and learning disabilities going on one-on-one time with them,” McCann said. “Being able to cut and write is what they need and so much better for them to learn.”
McCann’s Donor’s Choose project is to give her students a classroom printer for their differentiated learning.
She says it’s hard for her students who are all on different levels to stay on task when working on devices. The students retain the work better when they are working with a teacher who supports hands-on learning.
“A printer in the classroom will be better because, if it’s in color, I will spend less time hand-coloring all of the stuff we use, and I will spend hours coloring because the coloring is what catches them. The kids would love it because there is so much to bring home,” McCann said.
McCann believes that color copies can also make learning more fun and engaging for her students.
This project still requires more than $100 in funding to be fully funded.
