Charging Towards The Future

Help me give my students a place to charge their phones so they are not a distraction!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Aleto's classroom raised $610

This project is fully funded

My Project

Cell phones are a distraction in the classroom but, we are going to help students. During class, students will be able to place their cell phones in the cabinet. We will lock the cabinet so they are not able to access anyone else's cell phone. Their cell phones will charge during class.

Instead of fighting the battle of cell phone use, we will approach it in a way that students are happy and I get to teach without distractions.

The other items will be used for our genetics unit. Students will learn about their traits and how they inherited traits from their parents.
