With the addition of a quality color printer, our students are well on their way to learning and creating art while documenting their experience in a portfolio. \r\nOur very first project in art enrichment was color theory. We discussed primary colors and how all colors can be made with red, yellow and blue. To show an example of this, we took a look at a color wheel which we printed with our new color printer. They then had an opportunity to look inside of the printer which only contained magenta, yellow cyan and black ink cartridges. This helped demonstrate the concept that all colors can be created with just the primary colors.\r\nFrom that key stone moment, our students have since branched off into creating art with analogous and contemporary colors, patterns and lines. These moments have been captured with reflections and photos in their learning portfolio. Thanks to the colored printer, students will have evidence of their learning in art enrichment to take with them. They are looking forward to many more art lessons!","fullyFundedDate":1759241816198,"projectUrl":"project/the-world-is-a-rainbow/9772501/","projectTitle":"The World is A Rainbow","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nakasone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8000737_orig.jpg?crop=1387,1387,x0,y231&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1629488044306","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8000737"},{"teacherId":7931959,"projectId":9773647,"letterContent":"The supplies I received to supply my classroom store which encouraged positive behavior and rewarded students who displayed desired behaviors made a huge impact in the general classroom culture. \r\nStudents earned points when they were \"caught being good\" in the following areas: belonging, responsibility, excellence, aloha, total well being and Hawai'i. Students loved hearing the beep when they earned points and were so excited to see their points accumulate. \r\n When the prizes first arrived, I unboxed them and showed the class all the different prizes, which consisted of snacks, toys and fun gadgets. The students oohed and ahhed and it really got them pumped up.

Some students could not resist and quickly used all their points while others had their eye on prizes of greater value, thus saving their points. \r\n Rewarding positive behavior helps boost students' self-esteem.

This can be very difficult for some students but in play the frustration level is greatly reduced. It also provides a reward for the students when their work is completed.\r\n\r\nThe Duplos are another tool that engages the students to show their understanding and thinking. These tools are a little less forgiving than the playdoh and require the students to do a little more problem solving.
