Help me give my students an incentive to make learning fun! Students love writing on colored paper and it is a great way to identify certain assignments and stay organized.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My very enthusiastic speech and language students are in elementary and middle school from kindergarten to 8th grade. They love learning in speech and language therapy differently than what is used in the classroom setting.

Students will use the colored paper and file folders to complete assignments and assessments and put their completed work into folders.

Using colorful paper is a fun and visually organized way to help students keep their work sorted and in order in their folders. This year, we need more colorful paper to help with this task. I’m requesting colorful printing paper to help in my classroom.
