Did you know that colors can affect neurological pathways in the brain? They sure can! By using the right color, and the correct selection and placement, it can most definitely affect the student's feelings, attention, and behavior when learning. As a teacher, we give out a lot of paper to students every single day. And 90% of it is on white paper. How boring! Imagine at your work if you could have different papers come to you on different colored paper, especially bright colors!?! It would most definitely catch your attention! I want to use every opportunity to reach out and grab my student's attention. If there is anything I can do to help make my student's work POP, I would love to give that to my students. I want to making learning for them fun, bright, and creative. I want to be able to use bright colored paper throughout the entire year to help make their work POP with excitement. From notes homes, to progress monitoring, to extra fun crafts; I want to be able to use these astrobrights paper to help making learning fun and exciting for all of my students.
