Classroom Attention Grabber

Posted by: Paula K.
I teach a Sunday School class for 11-year-old boys and girls. They are very chatty and a few have ADHD so I use this bright paper to better keep their attention. I print large words and sentences on bright strips of paper and stick them on the board or wall in front of the class. They can see what the main theme of the lesson is then below that strip I add other strips with each point as I start talking about it. I also display scripture references that we're looking up together such as "John 3:5" Seeing the main ideas visually as I speak helps the kids stay more focused. I also print off half or quarter sheet handouts that will hopefully spark conversations at home with their families.
I really am pleased to purchase your colored paper. There are so many colors to chose from. The cost is reasonable. This last time I got Neon shades. I like these because I am a Sunday School Teacher a Girl Scout Leader and am Service Unit Manager for my county. I use lots of colors and shades. This way I can say your yellow sheets must be turned in Thursday etc. My sunday school class enjoys colors because sometimes I mix up the memory verse on different colors and the students have to put them in order. The different colors make this task a little more confusing. I average using at least 4 reams of colored paper a year. I get multicolored most of the time. I use a ream of regular colored paper during Bible School. I purchased today my second case of 10 ream copy paper this year. For someone who does not have a public job I use a considerable amount of paper. The cost is mine to bear. I would appreciate you adding me to the group who could win the gift card. I really could use some more paper. That does not count ink! Oh my gosh! I cannot tell you how much ink I have purchased this year.
The quality of this paper is fine but it's another one of those papers that doesn't look anything like the picture. Be prepared to receive an electric pink-colored paper. There is no hint of purple in this paper at all.
My daugheter used these papers as backdrops for a project she had. They were very bright and caught the eye. We'll be using some of the colors for a flier later in the year. Very bright!!
