A Kind Gesture Goes a Long Way

Help enable me to see my virtual students when I am teaching students in the classroom by having me teach from a podium in the classroom.

My Students

My students are a highly energetic group with a love and zeal for reading. They always tend to demonstrate a positive attitude despite lacking certain necessary resources that would be beneficial to them. "Every child can learn and every child must" is my favorite quote. My students have been living by this quote as well. Despite the situation created by Covid-19, my students truly try to rise to be good students, with a drive and determination for learning. They have a light in them that needs to continue to glow, and I want to use this opportunity to help them shine.

My Project

I am struggling to see my virtual students when I am in the classroom with my face to face students. I have requested a podium that will give me an elevated and secure place to put my laptop, so that I can see my virtual students while teaching face to face.

It is never easy being at home desiring to learn and the teacher is unable to see you and offer help.

That is why this podium will be a great help to both my students and I so I can see all of my students when I am teaching.
