My Project

I have the pleasure of teaching 10th grade students. I strive each day to provide an engaging learning environment so that they can enjoy being at school. This can be a challenge with all the different learning styles and needed differentiation in the lesson.

They are hard working students who do not have access to a variety of resources to facilitate their learning.

My students are enthusiastic learners who enjoy being in my class. Therefore, I try my best to provide as much resources as possible to assist their daily needs.

I want my students to have the materials needed to have a successful school year. The binders and dividers would complete the bulk of things. My goal is to make sure they have access to whatever it is they may need and now I would like to keep that momentum going by supplying them with binders and dividers.
