My Project

I am an 8th-grade math teacher. I love my students because they are eager to learn and work hard. I reward them for good behavior that is what the punch cards are for. I like to see the smiles on their faces when they overcome math objections. The stamps will be used when I graded papers. The ink allows me to print certificates in color. The bandanas will be used to divide the students into learning teams. I will use the keyboard and wireless mouse to enhance my desk.
