My Project
Help give my students a color printer so they can see their learning in color! I do not have access to a color printer, which makes it difficult to complete learning tasks that require color. For example, when students are learning fractions, a question might ask, "What fraction of the circle is orange?". They will either be unable to answer the question or I will have to color in the correct fraction of orange in each circle on each paper to ensure it is accurate.
Research shows that including color in learning improves comprehension and memory retention more than just verbal and text signals alone.
Additionally, "A Color Opinion Research Survey performed in 2011 by Harris Interactive found that 69% of students better understand new ideas when presented in a color format, and that 77% of students say color helps them remember what they read more easily." I am looking forward to using this printer to help students learn new concepts in fun and engaging ways!
My school is a Title I school, and around 70% of our student population qualifies for free and reduced-rate school lunches. I want our students to know that they deserve high-quality educational materials just like their peers at non-Title I schools.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
