My students are the absolute best! They come from very diverse backgrounds and have so many talents and abilities that I love to help them discover as we go through the year. Some of them come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and really face some difficult challenges in their lives, but despite their struggles, they come to school with a willingness to learn and grow academically! I love what they each bring to the table and their eagerness to try anything I ask them to do. They jump in to every assignment with enthusiasm and gusto and they continuously amaze me with what they can do!
As colorful as their personalities are, I want to provide my students with colorful paper to create their own publications, stories, artwork and makerspace creations!
I know they are going to LOVE these materials and get so excited to be able to use colorful papers to highlight and display their work! I am hoping you will be able to help me get a variety of colorful packs of paper as well as page protectors to display their work and keep it for many years to come! I want my students to see themselves as authors and providing them with many opportunities to write, research, create, and show what they can do will only make them grow stronger in those skill sets.
Please help them to be able to increase in their creativity by enjoying such colorful materials to work with! I am so grateful for any help you can give us with this project and these educational endeavors! Thank you!
