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

The usage of a color printer will further enhance our school's focus: Language and Literacy. We will be able to create at home packages to involve our children's first teachers -- their parents. By using their packets with the reinforcement from home, along with the amazing teaching and learning in our classroom, our pre-kindergarteners will thrive by the end of the school year.

Improving Retention and Learning.

Color printed materials offer many benefits in teaching students—they better capture attention and deliver an enhanced learning experience. Research has consistently shown that color increases memory retention better than verbal or textual cues alone. Other studies have confirmed that color is easier to remember than black and white; most color survey participants reported that they could recall color images more easily than black and white images.
