Here's how it makes a difference:\r\n1. Increases Student Engagement\r\nColorful visuals grab attention and make learning materials more appealing.\r\nCharts, diagrams, anchor charts, and interactive materials printed in color are easier for students to understand and stay focused on.\r\nStudents are naturally more interested in assignments and activities that are bright, creative, and visually organized.\r\n\"When students see a colorful graphic organizer or a vibrant book cover, they get excited—it makes learning feel more dynamic.\"\r\n 2. Supports Diverse Learners\r\nVisual learners benefit greatly from full-color visuals that help them process and retain information.\r\nColor coding can aid in organization and comprehension, especially for students with learning differences like ADHD or dyslexia.\r\nExample: Color-coded math steps or reading strategies help students remember processes more easily.\r\n3. Enhances Classroom Materials\r\nCenters, games, vocabulary cards, posters, and student work displays become more impactful when printed in color.\r\nColor prints elevate the quality of instructional resources and classroom décor without the need to outsource printing.\r\n\"Instead of black-and-white worksheets, students can engage with vivid, real-world images that spark conversation and curiosity.\"\r\n 4. Celebrates Student Work\r\nPrinting student projects, certificates, and artwork in color makes students feel proud and recognized.\r\nHelps foster a positive classroom culture where achievements are visibly celebrated.\r\n\"When I hand out a full-color 'Student of the Week' certificate, the students light up—it shows their work is truly valued.\"\r\n 5. Saves Time and Resources\r\nReduces the need to laminate or decorate materials by hand.\r\nAllows me to create professional-looking resources on the spot, customized to my classroom's needs.","fullyFundedDate":1717692802217,"projectUrl":"project/the-world-in-print/8433352/","projectTitle":"The World in Print","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Proctor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2097186_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1517203869043","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2097186"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16925","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":754,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":99,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":24.9,"schoolId":16925,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Martin Behrman Charter Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Martin Behrman Charter Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/orleans-parish-school-district/martin-behrman-elementary-school/16925"}
