The Synergy of Collaboration in Coloring

Help me give my students an area in the classroom where they can color away their stress, turning the posters into unique, colorful reminders of their collaborative efforts!

My Project

High school students are such an eclectic collection of gifts and talents. Many students in my high school science classroom love upper level science, but not all. Any fun opportunity to provide enjoyable activities that serve as outlets of stress and frustration while developing interpersonal skills is always welcome.

The collaborative effort of all students will become apparent as the giant posters near completion, reinforcing the idea that the collective "team" synergy produces far greater results than the efforts of the individuals.

This is why we need the colored pencils, markers, mandala wow pack and coloring posters. As a bonus, the classroom will be beautifully decorated by student artwork!
