Imagine a Rainbow in Black & White...

Help me give my students individual colorful flashcards to aid in phonemic sound comprehension, letter recognition, and number games. Black and white copies are not as vibrant and appealing to 5-year-olds as color prints are.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I absolutely adore my student's desire to absorb my excitement for learning. My students absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Throughout the pandemic, there has been an enormous need for students to have their own materials.

My Project

My students love engaging in hands-on activities and projects. Due to COVID restrictions, my students cannot share materials. This has led me to create individual color print cards for each student. As you can imagine, this can become very pricey.

Seeing color enhances learning and brings projects to life!

If this project gets funded, I can give my students a more engaging and enriching learning experience.

My students love to work with manipulatives and play educational games during center time. Being able to print these activities in color will help enhance their learning and make these activities more inviting to them, especially those with special needs.

This printer will give me the opportunity to make their resources more colorful and exciting.

Please consider donating to our project!
