A Space to Recharge and Create!

My Students

My students from Hawaii are eager learners. They are creative, thoughtful, caring, and passionate about learning. They love to find solutions to problems and focus on hands-on activities. They come to class ready to learn and always have an abundance of questions.

Nearly the entire school population receives free or reduced lunch, English language learner, and/or their families do not have the money to purchase supplies due to the ongoing pandemic.

Please help my students achieve their educational goals. They love various methods of learning, whether it be by computer, in group work, or in small discussions. Their ongoing curiosity is an inspiration to me every day!

My Project

The materials I am requesting in this project already have a space in my classroom. I just need a little help being able to make my dream a reality. This Chromebook cart will help my students be able to store their laptops in a safe space. The storage cart currently in my room is no longer properly grounded and therefore is a safety hazard.

The easel will give them the opportunity to create graphic organizers and K-W-L charts for presentations.

I am excited to be able to provide these supplies to my Keiki. The kids love drawing and creating presentations to show their skills to their peers. I would really enjoy giving them a space to express themselves creatively.
