Color helps make new vocabulary, grammar structures, and instructions clearer and easier to understand. When lessons include color-coded words, highlighted sentence parts, pictures, charts, and graphic organizers, students can better connect meaning to language without relying only on text. This is especially helpful for students who are still developing their English reading skills.The colored printer has also been one of the most exciting additions to our classroom for the students. Many of them are eager to see materials printed in color and often express enthusiasm when lessons include bright visuals, images, or illustrated handouts. This excitement increases their motivation and attention, making learning feel more engaging and enjoyable. Overall, the printer not only supports academic growth but also builds confidence, curiosity, and excitement for learning English.","fullyFundedDate":1767412989807,"projectUrl":"project/bring-color-to-language-learning-for-esl/9702452/","projectTitle":"Bring Color to Language Learning for ESL Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Serzan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10250826"},{"teacherId":9782041,"projectId":9364128,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of school supplies, including glue sticks and storage bins, for my classroom.
