My students rely heavily on visuals to understand a new language, and the colorful materials helped them learn words more quickly. Lessons became brighter and more interactive, and students were excited to participate.\r\n The printer was especially helpful during our colors unit. Students could see「紅色 (red)」「黃色 (yellow)」「藍色 (blue)」「綠色 (green)」in vivid color, which helped them connect words with meaning immediately. They practiced sentences like「我看到紅色 (I see red)」while playing games and doing color-sorting activities. The visuals also supported cultural lessons, such as why「紅色 (red)」is lucky in Chinese traditions.\r\n Beyond lessons, the printer improved the classroom environment. I created picture-rich reading pages, visual schedules, and center materials that help students work independently. They also created their own storybooks and projects in full color, proudly displaying their work. Seeing their creations come to life boosted confidence and motivation. This printer has brought clarity, excitement, and joy, helping my kindergarteners explore Mandarin with curiosity and pride.","fullyFundedDate":1747144849439,"projectUrl":"project/bring-learning-to-life-with-color/9307036/","projectTitle":"Bring Learning to Life with Color","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10010844"},{"teacherId":1299000,"projectId":9318923,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for helping fund this project.
