The color printer has given specialists the opportunity to enhance the learning experience by enabling educators to produce visually engaging materials that capture students' attention. Colorful stations, posters, and task cards not only make learning more appealing but also help to reinforce concepts through visual stimulation. Teachers can easily customize resources to cater to diverse learning styles, ensuring that every student has access to materials that resonate with them.\r\n\r\nIn addition to color printing capabilities, the use of hands-on manipulatives fosters an interactive and experiential learning environment. These tangible tools allow students to explore mathematical concepts and language skills in a concrete manner. By engaging in hands-on activities, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills while collaborating with their peers. Teachers can facilitate deeper understanding by guiding students through these manipulatives, making abstract ideas more accessible and relatable. Together, the color printer and hands-on manipulatives empower our educators to create dynamic and effective learning experiences that support student achievement and engagement.","fullyFundedDate":1736264245271,"projectUrl":"project/making-learning-come-to-life/9014721/","projectTitle":"Making Learning Come to Life!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Anderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3286871"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105374","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":697,"numTeachers":49,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":64,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.3,"schoolId":105374,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kay Franklin Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kay Franklin Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/northside-independent-school-district/kay-franklin-elementary-school/105374"}
