My Project

Firstly, a classroom printer allows me to provide students with physical copies of important materials they need for that day. Convenient when you don't have enough copies for all the scholars.

Seat sacks will allow the students to access materials they need quickly without having to disrupt others, so this will help with learning and maintaining social distance in the classroom.

With these tennis balls placed on the bottoms of chairs, students can get up and move around the classroom without disturbing others and scratching up the tile on the floor.

Many times, students come to school without eating and have a hard time focusing on their learning. These snacks will help my scholars focus and participate in the lesson and be awarded for good behavior.

By having these supplies: markers, notebooks, pencils, headphones, handwriting books, pencil basket my students will feel excited and prepared for school and the lesson for that day.
