Help me give my students colored graphic organizers and published writing pieces to bring out the best in them. Color opens meaningful engaging thoughts, student participation and less teacher talk.

My Project
A colored printer will allow my students to show case their best writing and mathematical skills. For some reason color gives them the fuel to do more.
I love when their faces light when they are completing their assignment in color.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and not worry about their published writing or math assignments will only be noticed because it has a colored piece of construction paper attached.
The folders will be displayed in the classroom for staff and visitors to see their accomplishments.
