Many people are familiar with printers at home, but in a school setting, especially in language development classes, this technology makes an enormous difference. My students are working on a variety of long-term projects throughout the year, including biographies, travel brochures, and presentations. Having access to color printing allows them to include real, vibrant images rather than relying solely on drawings, which can be difficult for students who are still developing their artistic confidence. Color visuals help them better understand content, support vocabulary learning, and take pride in producing work that looks polished and professional.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students has been the ability to print color portraits, maps, symbols, and images that connect directly to their projects. When working on biography projects, for example, students lit up with joy seeing the faces of the historical figures they were writing about. They were amazed that they could choose meaningful images and bring their projects to life in ways that weren't possible before. This has boosted their engagement, motivation, and the overall quality of their work.\r\n\r\nMany of my students have shown an unexpected burst of motivation because of this new resource. I've noticed students eagerly rushing to complete their written work so they can begin searching for the perfect images to print in color. They are excited to create visuals that they can proudly share with their peers. The anticipation of seeing their projects come together with real, vibrant pictures has transformed the way they approach their assignments. It's been wonderful to watch this added layer of creativity inspire them to work harder and with more confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1762265340884,"projectUrl":"project/bright-prints-for-bright-ideas/9728233/","projectTitle":"Bright Prints for Bright Ideas","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lady","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9018856_orig.jpg?crop=1135,1135,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1682976363202","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ladyornelas"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_73720","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":330,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":51,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.8,"schoolId":73720,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Salish Ponds Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Salish Ponds Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oregon/reynolds-school-district-7/salish-ponds-elementary-school/73720"}
