My Project

In this day of digital textbooks and an array of digital resources, there is a constant need to print materials for our students. The current allotment for copy paper does not come close to meeting the needs. My grade level team and I are often scrounging for PAPER! This project is for us. It will take some stress off the task of trying to figure out how meet the requirements (and desires) with our limited supply of paper. It is about midyear and we are just about out of the paper allotment for the year.

Our students love hands-on activities!

We use paper for just about everything. We make games, gadgets, math manipulatives, puzzles and ...... the list is endless. Yes, of course we have to print out everyday items like word cards, activity sheets, math problems and morning work.

Our kids are very energetic, hard working, creative and oh so loving! We would appreciate your support on our project!
