The paper has been used most recently for our Turkey Disguise projects. The nameplates, markers, and Velcro squares have helped keep student spaces labeled and organized. Students have built countless structures using the magnetic tiles. The name tags, tape and dry-erase markers have been used to help student lessons and work.

These resources have helped create smoother routines and a stronger sense of independence as students take ownership of their learning each day.\r\n\r\nThe addition of the document camera has made one of the biggest differences—I can now model lessons clearly for everyone to see, whether it's writing, math, or hands-on activities.

It definitely had a highly positive impact on students and enhanced engagement, making lessons more effective. \r\nAs students discuss ideas and plan, they practice expressing their thoughts clearly and listening to others, which improves their conversational skills. Collaborating on a project teaches students how to share responsibilities, wait for their turn, and support each other, reinforcing teamwork values.\r\nOverall, these activities provide a supportive environment for English learners to practice language in meaningful contexts while developing essential teamwork and communication competencies. \r\nIn summary, giant posters and markers make ESL more interactive, memorable, and enjoyable, which can significantly improve language acquisition outcomes.

Students appeared more enthusiastic and motivated to participate in projects, often taking greater ownership of their work. \r\nThe availability of the new printing technology gave me, as a teacher, the possibility of printing in color. As an ESL teacher, I understand how important vocabulary and connections are for English learners. The printer fostered a more dynamic and cooperative learning environment, making all more invested in their learning process. Printing colorful flashcards, word walls, and vocabulary charts helps students associate words with vivid images, making new vocabulary more memorable. Cultural topics were a theme chosen in the beginning of the school year to make students feel more welcomed, like displaying words in their languages in the school lobby, and our new printer was used to have the posters displayed in color.\r\nOverall, integrating color printing into ESL lessons adds visual interest, supports multimodal learning, and helps cater to diverse learning styles, and I can't thank you enough for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1753282431857,"projectUrl":"project/printing-possibilities-supporting-engli/9329197/","projectTitle":"Printing Possibilities: Supporting English Language Learners K-8","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brust","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5794794_orig.jpg?crop=524,524,x0,y13&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1571969276841","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5794794"},{"teacherId":6312114,"projectId":9336457,"letterContent":"Thank you tremendously for the gracious donation of the printer and pencils.

I printed and laminated the items, so we can use them again next year. Students have had so much fun pretending to buy and sell fruits and vegetables. I intend to purchase a Bakery set for the holiday season. \r\n\r\nI also purchased tracing cards to help with fine motor skills, and pattern block cards to build geometry and patterning skills.

They especially loved the dry-erase pockets with their individual name practice pages, and writing and being able to erase and write again. \r\nThese writing buckets will be used at different times during the day. Students can write, draw, or copy their name in their journals in the morning if they do not want to eat breakfast. They can also practice tracing their name in their dry-erase pockets. Throughout the year, I will add different papers to their pockets, so they may practice tracing different letters, numbers, and shapes. This is wonderful for their fine-motor and literacy development. We will also use the writing materials in small-group instruction, now that each student has their own individual materials. We are also teaching students to care for their things, by making sure they put the tops on their markers and put their crayons away.
