Help me give my students supplies to help them make their interactive math notebooks! I would like a printer, toner, and colored paper for students to work hard on their note-taking skills for pre-algebra and algebra.

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are a fantastic bunch of 8th graders who love math and science. They have a great passion for science and are always coming up with ideas for projects and labs that they would like to do just for fun. They enjoy making connections between other subjects they are learning in 8th grade, and real-world connections are their favorite. These kids enjoy diving into challenging math problems and give a lot of effort in the work that they do.
Even though COVID-19 has interrupted the studies of many of my kiddos, they work so hard to overcome the gaps in their learning, even if it means that they will end up doing more work than they would have had it been a typical year.
That sort of determination and dedication is rare to find, and I am so lucky that my students have such lofty goals.
I would love for them to get the ability to gain a deeper understanding of both math and science concepts through hands-on experiences.
My Project
Because of COVID-19, students have had to do virtual note-taking from home, oftentimes on scraps of paper, or not at all. An interactive notebook is a colorful and organized way to write down notes in which definitions, diagrams, and explanations are all presented cohesively. These students have not had an opportunity to learn proper note-taking skills, and that is something I have been working on with the students.
The requested resources, such as the printer and colored paper, will help my students artfully portray what they have learned, unit by unit, by teaching them how large concepts can be broken down into smaller, manageable learning goals.
I would like for my students to find joy in note-taking, and to be excited each day to come to math. Currently, students are pleased to see that their notes are so organized, easy to use and read, and professional-looking. With my supplies running out, it is important to replenish them so that students can continue to excel in math on a day-to-day basis.
