My Project

I love how my students always put forth an effort to try their best. They are eager to learn. My students help cheer each other on. In our classroom, we need new headphones for audible tests and different online programs that will help students become successful on classroom assignments and upcoming state assessments. Snacks are often requested by students who arrive to school after breakfast is closed and throughout the day before and after lunch. Some students bring snacks to school and others do not. Students are comfortable with asking for snacks during the day. My project will stock the classroom with snacks and supplies that can be distributed to any child I interact with daily at work. If these items can be provided for my classroom, this will help remove the distraction from their minds thus allowing them to focus more.
