My Project

My middle school students are funny and creative and interested in learning new things. With over 50% of our school population receiving language support services, it's more important than ever that we provide organizational skills and notes that are detailed and engaging as well as reinforcing key concepts.

Color-coding and post-it notes are strategies used by many to help organize one's thoughts.

Children are naturally inquisitive. By providing them a creative outlet to post and share their thoughts and ideas, sticky notes can be used to encourage academic conversation as well as foster respective debate when challenging ideas (not people) and leave space to revise our thinking.
