Add Some Color To Our Workload!

Help me give my students the best learning experience by enhancing the activities that I assign by printing them in color. Students are more interested in the work when they find the assignment visually appealing!

My Project

As you know, teachers spend a lot of their own money for their classrooms. We often pull material to enhance our teaching from different websites, some are free, but a lot we purchase because we want to make learning fun for our students. In my past 27 years teaching, I have found that simple things grab my students' attention like having an assignment in color. I purchased activities for my classroom without realizing some activities need to be printed in color. We do not have access to a color printer at school, so I have been taking them to Staples to have them printed, which has become very costly. If I could print out these types of resources and assignments that capture my student's attention in my classroom I would be so grateful!
