My Project

Organizers such as the cart and chair organizer can impact students learning experiences by providing students with a designated space to store their materials such as textbooks, notebooks, pens and pencils, keeping their belongings in one clean area. This promotes a more organized learning environment. The cart will keep the supplies students bring in, in a location that all students can access easily. This will promote organization, a clutter free room and environment in the classroom as well as an aesthetic look for the class.

The laptop will provide the teacher with the ability to enhance teaching effectiveness, foster student engagement and prepare students for success.

Unfortunately the technology provided by the DOE is nor reliable, glitches, loses ability of functions and makes using certain software that would help students in learning which is not always available. The laptop provides a wide range of educational software and tools used in schools. I also feel In an updated version of the laptop I can create projects, movies and many other activities with my innovative learners.

My goal is create a safe organized learning experience in my classroom by promoting organization, accessibility to resources, independence and technology proficiency, ultimately fostering a more engaging and effective learning environment. My students are special because each student brings their own strengths to the classroom whether its academic , creative, leadership skills or kindness. My students come from diverse backgrounds, cultures. My students have varied ways of learning and learning styles which lend its self as to why they need to be organized in a safe learning space. Many of my students demonstrate resilience and perseverance. As their teacher I have the privilege and responsibility to nurture these qualities and help them thrive academically, and personally.
