My Project

Although the COVID pandemic has "ended", the effects of it are still very present in our classrooms today. Students are on technology so often, that I find it important at the primary level to have physical copies/whiteboard writing activities to help them learn. In addition, I have also requested books that we will use as SEL and holiday read-alouds to promote literacy and make connections to our home, Hawai'i. Next, I ordered snacks for students who often do not have snacks at school. Also, I am requesting flexible seating for our classroom. I believe that students need their basic needs met before they can learn. One of those basic needs being food and comfort. Finally, I am requesting office supplies that we use daily in our classroom to make the day run smoothly.
