My Students

I have 32 outstanding students that come to school every single day, all ready to learn. Due to Covid, there is a vast learning gap that I would like to work on to have my students rise from the lack of resources and knowledge they have been missing.

My students are unique and have so much to offer with the proper guidance and opportunity to rise from the academic gap created by Covid.

I would like to have materials and books for my students ready to dive into learning. Lack of resources makes things even more difficult for children of low-income communities.

My Project

Each student will have the opportunity to share what they know and how they are learning from others keeping the social distance. We already have wipeout boards and now need these tools to show equity for each student. Students will be using the sleeves for their reading logs as well as any material that needs to go home and brought back.

The protective sleeves and Expo markers will give the students a chance to work on their math tasks in the classroom as well as use them for vocabulary games.

The paper trimmer will give us the chance to use less paper and be ready with multiple copies of work cut at one time.
