Color Makes Everything Better

Help me give my students bring their learning to life with the use of color. Sometimes seeing things in color just makes things stand out for our students to better understand things.

My Students

My 4th-grade classroom is one where students ideas flourish! I strive to create an environment where kids are always excited to take their skills to the next level and to take risks. Students learn to work together and independently to persevere through many tasks. My classroom is an integrated classroom combining special and general education students. The needs of each individual student can vary drastically. Each year these needs change.

My students deserve the best, and I want to give them the best.

These supplies will not just to help my teaching, but engage students of varying academic levels including students with IEP's and English Language Learners.

My Project

Many times a black and white copy of things in the classroom are good enough to get the job done. But there are times when color coding things or a little pop of color to make certain things stand out make all the difference in enhancing students understanding.

A new color printer will go a long way with all of our students in particular students with IEPs, our visual learners, ENL and multi-lingual learners.

The generosity of your donation will have a lasting impact on student learning that will stick with them far beyond this year - it will last a lifetime.
