My Students

The students in our school are from small, rural towns. In our small district, I graduated from the high school with many parents of students and I have had siblings of many of the students. This creates a "family" atmosphere in our school.

I want to give each & every student the best opportunity to learn.

Donors Choose has given me the ability to provide things in my classroom that enhance their learning!

My Project

With distance learning and hybrid learning, more materials are needed to allow items for each student because sharing materials and working in groups isn't an options right now.

Having hands-on materials helps the student to learn in a more concrete way.

The rulers, thermometers, and stopwatches will be used in measurement labs. We will also collect data to be put into graphing practice. The visual timer and the digital timer will help individual students to manage their time. A laptop stand will assist me in making zoom meetings a little more comfortable; boosting my screen will reduce strain.
