Using Color to Brighten Our Notes and Our Days

Help me give my students access to coloring supplies for classroom notes and practice. Also, give my students coloring sheets to relax and destress as needed.

My Project

I am requesting coloring supplies for my high school math classroom. During Geometry class, we color code our notes to help understand the concepts. The diagrams can be overwhelming and this truly helps students to identify parts of figures and reason in Geometry. I am also requesting coloring pages to help my students relax and destress during tough moments during their day. In addition, my advisory students and learning center students enjoy a break and some down time.

My goal is for my students to have access to supplies to help them with our math course and also access to supplies to help them de-stress.

My students deserve access to materials to help them through the day.
