My Project

I create foldable study guides for my students that we fill out in class. It's an engaging interactive activity that helps them internalize what they learn and create resources to look back on later. However, printing those on white paper is boring, especially for my students who have disabilities.

I would love to use the hole punch and the colored paper to make these foldable interactive study guides color-coded based on the unit of study and easy for students to refer back to.

Please help me by providing color printer paper to use throughout the school year!
