Cheaper than parchment for school

I use parchment paper with my students for maps and special drawings but it can get expensive if you need a lot of it. So this ivory paper looks almost as special. I copy their timeline figures on this paper and they cut out the figures to make History Timeline projects. Some kids like to TEAR apart the timeline figures so it looks sort of vintage and scrappy. Handling the timeline figures many times builds retention. We read them then they are looking at them again as they cut them one more time as they glue them to the correct spot in their timeline books. Review is easy as it is all spread out on their timeline pages and it looks so "old fashioned" too!
4 years ago I decided i did not wany the materials for my classes to be on white paper so I changed to the pastel paper. I am pleased really pleased. I use the color blue with this paper and the combination of the blue ink and the paster paper giving a stunning image. People love to read what is on my handouts because it is so easy to read and soothing to the eye. I often asked where I purxhased the paper and I gladly telll them Staples. This paper is a wonderful piece to the work I do and I am glad the paper is still avaialblre and I have purchased the paper in many different stores not just the one closest to my home.
Our commercial machine jammed several times with this paper. We ended up returning to the store and having them run it. Looked great by the time we got it done.
