Help me give my students colored paper for important assignments we do in class
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fleming's classroom raised $300
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Our students are all freshmen who are in biology class. They are living on the southeast side of Chicago and attending a neighborhood high school.
Our students are freshmen in a co-taught biology classroom.
This means that there are two teachers and a percentage of the students in the room are students with special needs. There are also multiple students in our classroom who are in the ELL program, meaning they are learning the English language.
Over the course of their freshman year, the students grow a love for science! We hope that their love continues as they go on to college and their future careers.
My Project
Who doesn't love using a pretty piece of paper with a pop of color? Did you know that colored paper is supported by neuroscience? Colorful paper helps the brain process information differently than plain white paper.
We use colored paper in our freshman biology classes to support the students with disabilities and the students in the ELL program.
The diversity of needs in the classroom require us to be creative with our teaching methods. One of the ways we support are students is using colorful paper. This helps with engagement and memory. We love seeing the benefits of colorful paper.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
