My Project
Yes, I know...it's 2025! Everything has gone digital and the world is functioning on a screen rather than on paper. I believe in technology in the classroom for sure! However, I also think that for my tactile learners and for my students who need executive functioning help, paper still counts!
This project seeks to secure copy paper, high-quality copy paper and colored paper for making crisp copies for my students' assignments.
I use colored paper to print the students' bi-weekly progress reports. The bright yellow or orange paper copy of their current grades helps them to easily spot it in their folders and review their grades. This helps them maintain accountability for their own learning progress. I also use paper to print certificates for my students who are exceeding expectations on a regular basis. Finally, I want to use the copy paper to print my students' work and give them bright copies of their assignments that they can feel proud to complete with maximum effort.
