My Project

My students create an interactive spiral/journal every year that serves as a resource and document of learning. This year, the grant money for supplies like composition books, tape, glue, erasers and pencils has ended and students will have to purchase their own.

My goal is to have all students to have the supplies to create these interactive spirals and if they cannot afford them, we have them ready at school for them.

Students love the quick reference that these spirals provide. AJH students are eager to improve and have opportunities to learn creatively.
