Paper Makes It Possible to Write What's Impossible

Help me give my students copy paper for reasons like printed assignments, homework assignments, formals, and responding to questions during a read aloud after thinking, pairing and sharing each other ideas during a turn and talk.

My Project

The goal is to use copy paper to help students as they hone on specific skills eventually transferring those skills to copy paper after responding to questions, students' assignments, learning content such as math games, flashcards, and work used in math and reading centers. In addition, copy paper will be used for creating engaging lessons and other resources that are needed. The goal is also to share with colleagues by working together as a team.

My students are incredibly special!

They have a thirst for learning. It is evident when I see at least 90 to 95 % of the students showing up consistently. It is evident when I see them engage by raising their hands and seeing that their minds are open to learn and knowing that obtaining copy paper will eventually allow their thoughts to explore the beauty of writing through projects, responding to a read aloud, or using paper for various reasons stated above.
