Color Printing and Paper for Engaging Work

Help me give my students the ability to print in color and engage through paper worksheets

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. O'Shaughnessey's classroom raised $536

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students have become accustomed to working on the computer at all times. I am working to diversify classwork by doing work on paper and the computer to keep students more engaged. Using things like color paper and structured sheets for notes helps with organization.

Incorporating color pictures and graphs to daily work, along with posters and projects makes the work for students more exciting.

This also allows them to have the ability to bring their own images to their work. Color is proven to help with focus, excitement and engagement - these materials will help with that!
