My Project

My bright students are always eager to learn. I pride myself on designing engaging and thoughtful activities to help my students grasp the content and hone their skills as thinkers, readers and writers.

There is one material that I rely on most to design the activities that get my students working and thinking: paper.

I use printer paper in all kinds of ways in the classroom: to create organizers and note-catchers for students to capture their ideas, to print copies of assignment directions, and in countless other ways. Bright colorful paper helps students keep different assignments organized and easily accessible in their folders. Please help by donating the most basic but maybe most essential material that I need for everyday use!
