Rules for Using a Printer in the Classroom: Grade 1 Guide

📚 Introduction to Classroom Printers

In first grade, using a printer is a big step! It helps you share your work and learn about technology. But like all cool tools, we need rules to keep things fair and safe.

📜 History of Printers (Simplified)

Long ago, people wrote everything by hand. Then, inventors created machines to print words and pictures faster. Early printers were big and complicated, but now we have printers that fit right in our classroom!

🔑 Key Principles for Printer Use

• 🙋 Ask First: Always ask your teacher before using the printer. This helps save paper and keeps the printer working well.
• 📃 One at a Time: Only print one copy of your work unless your teacher says otherwise. This saves paper and ink.
• 🧽 Clean Hands: Make sure your hands are clean when handling paper and the printer. This keeps the printer clean and working well.
• 🚫 No Food or Drinks: Keep food and drinks away from the printer. Spills can damage the printer.
• 🗑️ Throw Away Scraps: Always throw away extra paper in the recycling bin. This keeps the classroom tidy.
• 🤝 Share Nicely: Take turns using the printer with your classmates. Be patient and wait for your turn.
• 🚨 Tell the Teacher: If something goes wrong with the printer, tell your teacher right away. Don't try to fix it yourself.
