Learning in Living Color

Help me give my students colorful visual cues and learning games with ink for our color printer.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Massey's classroom raised $206

This project is fully funded

My Project

I received a color printer from a project a few years ago. We need new color ink cartridges. I use a lot of visuals with my students, especially the English Language Learners and students with special needs.

Visual cues that are in color help my students better understand class expectations, learn new vocabulary, and learn basic math and literacy skills.

I print vocabulary cards that include pictures to reinforce the vocabulary from the stories that we read. I also like to make alphabet games, rhyming activities, and counting games to help my students learn literacy skills. When the materials are in color, they are more realistic for my students and it keeps them engaged in learning.
