My Project

These basic supplies will help us start off the school year right. As we start the new year, there are always certain items that each classroom needs to help keep us organized and functioning like a well-oiled machine. The headphones will allow students to effectively engage in blended learning instruction in the classroom.

In a technology-driven society, all students must engage in classroom instruction that integrates technology.

My students love hands-on STEM and Coding projects. With the right tools, like headphones, students can create new coding projects without disturbing others. Students will use other items such as pencils, Kleenex, and disinfectant wipes daily to keep our classroom functional and clean.
