My Project

I love how enthusiastic and engaging my students are with their learning, especially working on their End of Year Project of "Planning My Future". This project requires my students to do a lot of research. The constant use of laptops causes the keyboards to get dirty. My students care about having a clean environment and taking care of the devices that they use for their learning. In addition, the Apple Pencil helps students show their work on the iPad while presenting it on the SmartBoard. My students will be able to have some fun (of course, while still learning Math) after completing their project and getting ready to go off on their summer break.

Having a Wireless Computer Vacuum will help to keep these devices clean and avoid germs.

Since so many students use the laptops, cleaning them after every use gives them the peace of mind of not worrying about whether anyone was feeling well prior to using the laptops.

My goal is to have my students learning and enjoying themselves with these board games after putting in the hard work during the school year.
