My Students

As a teacher in a small, rural community, I want to provide my students with the best education in the most diverse ways. While they come from a variety of backgrounds, many of them still need exposure to ideas and places they may never have the opportunity to experience otherwise.

My students are eager to learn, and they love to be active in the classroom!

As soon as they enter the room, I want them to feel safe and excited to grow as scholars. As they leave the classroom, I want them to have a love of learning that will help them grow into strong and educated members of the community.

My Project

These materials will allow my students to do their best work, by providing them with the tools they need. Many of my students are not able to purchase their own headphones to use at school, and they love using their chromebooks to learn through games and activities. We have also tried using folders as privacy partitions; however, they are not sturdy enough and fall continuously.

With these headphones and privacy partitions, my students will have the tools they need to focus when completing their work.

These materials will help us create a great environment for completing more of our independent assignments that require more attention. My students will love to have the opportunity to work independently!
