My Project

The use of copy paper is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in journaling in all subjects. We often paste what we are working on in our composition books for continuous practice & future references. As a teacher, I am able to go back and check students' journals for reflective feedback & to understand their weaknesses and strengths. Using the journaling model in all subjects allows for guided practice and recording of modeled strategies. The students are able to share their thinking with their peers. Being able to use copied materials in their journaling allows an easy place for them to show and share their work. By donating copy paper to our project, you will not only help improve and increase student attention, accuracy, accountability, and focus, but you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
