My Project

Middle school rocks but with teaching the middles, comes a lot of fidgeting. I had great success with purchasing wobble stools for some of my students. They have allowed my students to fidget their middle school bodies while continuing to work with these stools. I need to purchase a few more so that all of my students can benefit. With media class comes lots of importing and with middle school comes replacing small things is common. We need card readers since the ones we have keep getting misplaced. Lastly Ms Koyama has so many hats that she wears she needs help with keeping things in order. These manilla envelopes, pens and tape will help her keep project in order.
