Colored Paper for Colorful Kids

My students need colored paper for project presentations. Also, colored paper draws their eyes to the content that is being presented.

My Students

Our students are a wonderful group of Kentucky third graders who are just beginning to discover how smart they truly are! Our 3rd graders are a fantastic blend of various racial and ethnic backgrounds with the majority of my students falling below the poverty line and classified as at-risk. We have a large percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced price lunch, and yet our school doesn't not receive additional supplemental funding for extra resources.

Everyday, we remind our students how brilliant they are as they work to make meaningful connections to the curriculum.

Together, we explore the world and discover how to become positive agents of change!

My Project

I love doing projects with my students. Colored paper allows students' work to come to life and draws their eye to important information. Allowing my students to use colored paper increases their interest level in the projects that they complete. I want all of my students to have access to this paper.

Colorful kids need colorful paper to complete colorful projects!

Students will use this paper to write, print on, and enhance their already wonderful work. Their projects will come to life with this awesome and bright paper. I'm looking forward to seeing what students create and are able to with this resource.
