My Project

I enjoy watching my students grow academically! This is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching. A laptop will enhance our reading station and help students in my reading class by providing access to a wide range of digital books and literacy tools that support different reading levels and learning styles. Flexible seating can help improve focus, engagement, and behavior. Flexible seating will also support different learning styles. Help me give my students classroom supplies to support hands on learning and boost engagement so students can reach academic goals.
