Thanks to your support, my classroom has been equipped with a color printer that is already making a meaningful impact on my students' learning experience. Your kindness and commitment to education have provided us with a resource that will enrich our lessons and bring a new level of engagement to my students' work.\r\nAs a teacher, I am constantly looking for ways to make learning more interactive, dynamic, and engaging for my students. The addition of a color printer to our classroom opens up so many possibilities. Whether it's printing colorful educational materials to enhance lesson plans, creating vibrant displays to showcase student work, or offering students the opportunity to design their own projects in full color, this printer is a game-changer. It's not just a tool; it's an instrument that will help bring students' ideas and creativity to life in ways that will deepen their understanding and foster a love of learning.\r\nOne of the things that excites me the most about having a color printer is the opportunity it gives me to differentiate instruction. Many of my students benefit from visual aids and hands-on activities that are made more impactful with vibrant colors. This resource will allow me to print materials that are visually appealing and help students better connect with the content. For example, in math, where algorithms, model problems, and diagrams are essential for comprehension, having full-color visuals can make abstract concepts much more accessible.\r\nBeyond the academic benefits, the printer will also empower my students to take ownership of their learning. They'll be able to produce their own colorful projects, create illustrated reports, and even design presentations for class. For many of my students, the opportunity to work with high-quality materials in a creative way fosters a sense of pride and accomplishment. It's a wonderful way for them to showcase their individual talents and interests, and it encourages them to take risks in their learning. This printer is not just for me as a teacher; it's for them as future creators, thinkers, and problem-solvers.\r\nI can already see the excitement in my students' eyes as they think about the possibilities of using color in their work. Some students have already begun brainstorming ideas for projects they can create using the printer, and their enthusiasm is contagious. It's a reminder of how powerful small acts of generosity can be in shaping the educational experience of children.\r\nPlease know that your donation is making a lasting difference in our classroom. It's giving my students the tools to explore their creativity, express their ideas, and engage with the curriculum in a deeper way. You have truly made a positive impact on their educational journey, and for that, I am forever grateful.\r\nThank you once again for your incredible support. Your belief in the potential of every student is truly inspiring, and it's because of people like you that my students have access to the resources they need to succeed. I look forward to sharing the positive outcomes of your generosity and to continuing to make the most of this new tool in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1729226798440,"projectUrl":"project/in-living-color/8691727/","projectTitle":"In Living Color","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Farrelly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1867604_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1590060436399","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1867604"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1104","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2875,"numTeachers":165,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":43,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.2,"schoolId":1104,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Benjamin N Cardozo High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Benjamin N Cardozo High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/benjamin-n-cardozo-high-school/1104"}
